[Intro 1]
[C][D][Em][Bm]

[C][D][Em][G]
[C][D][Em][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[D]Pardon [G]my French,
but it's [D]all [C]Greek to [G]me
[D]When an innocent child is [G]al
lowed to drown out at sea
Our flags are just fiction,
our border[D]s just air
So regard[Em]less of roots you [D]can't
tell [G]me that you don't care
Because I know [D]for a fact that when
it's at your [G]front door
When it's your youngest child [D]that
you see washed [G]ashore
When the bombs are in [D]your backyard
and you're [G]under [D]attack
When the [G]victim is you,
you'll be the first [C]to react

[Verse 2]
Every life is [D]a cost,
every soul is [Em]a sell
We're all cynics at be[Bm]st,
we're all under [G]a spell[C]
We don't [D]do a thing [Em]about [G]it[C]
Every hand is a [D]help,
every dream is a hope
[Em]We're all doing our best,[G]
we're all trying to [C]cope
There's no [D]reason we should [Em]doubt it
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
So if [D]we [G]let them in,
and [D]then force them back
And [G]build a big fucking [D]wall,
what [G]kind of signal is that?
(We care a lot) but we don't,
because we don't [D]want to lose
The [G]benefits that we have,
we've all [Em]paid our [C]dues
[Bm]When it ma[G]kes the news[D] and
you're safe in your own [G]home
It's so easy to care,
[D]in your own comfort zone
So we [G]take what [D]we can get,
like [C]it's a natur[D]al fact
But we don't seem to care enough
to give [C]something back

[Verse 4]
Every life is a [D]cost, every soul is a sell
[Em]We're all cynics at best,[Bm]
we're all under [G]a spell[C]
We don't [D]do a thing [Em]about [G]it[C]
Every hand is a help,
[D]every dream is a hope
[Em]We're all doing our best,[G]
we're all trying to [C]cope
There's no [D]reason we should [Em]doubt it

[Em]

[Verse 5]
[C#]The truth is so [C]plain despite
our different names
'Cos [C#]at the end of the d[C]ay
we're all really the same
[Em]Our skin color[C#]s may vary[C],
our [C#]religion [C]as well
But we [C#]all want forg[C]iveness,
from Heaven or Hell

[Verse 6]
Every life is [D]a cost,
every soul is a [Em]sell
We're all cynics at be[Bm]st,
we're all under [C]a spell
We don't [D]do a thing [Em]about [G]it[C]
Every hand is a [D]help,
every dream is a hope
[Em]We're all doing our best,[G]
we're all trying to [C]cope
There's no [D]reason we
should [Em]doubt it
[G]

[Verse 7]
[C]
Every life is a cost,
[D]every soul is a sel[Em]l
We're all cynics at be[G]st,
we're [Bm]all under [G]a spell[C]
We don't [D]do a thing [Em]about [G]it[C]
Every hand is a [D]help,
every dream is a hope
[Em]We're all doing our best,[G]
we're all trying to [C]cope
There's no [D]reason we
should [Em]doubt it
