Pre-chorus

E7sus4 C D

Intro Parts 1 2

E7sus4
Old man lying by the road


Black is night

             C
He's got his finger on the trigger

        D
An easy target in sight

E7sus4
He's got no future, no family tree

           C
He's got a three dollar bottle

                    D
And he drinks 'till he can't see


Intro Part 2

E7sus4
Young girl waiting on a line

                        C
Eight a.m., she's got a six month old burden

            D
Willpower's withering thin

E7sus4
An unwed mother beaten by her trade

              C
Each week her welfare reminds her

                D
Of mistakes she never made


Pre-chorus

Em                   C         D
Now what has that to say about tomorrow

Em               C        D
What has that to show for today

Em
Noah thought to build an ark

C                  D
Before the heavens washed it all away


Intro Parts 1 and 2

E7sus4
A baby crying through a dream


An afterthought

          C
Mother is seething for pleasure

          D
After the poison is bought

E7sus4
His eyes are tainted, staggered is his breath

    C
Oh God, he's addicted

   D
Addicted to death


Pre-chorus

Em                   C         D
Now what has that to say about tomorrow

Em               C        D
What has that to show for today

Em
Noah thought to build an ark

C                  D
Before the heavens washed it all away
