Tears Of Rage

A              F#m         D               Bm
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day
G                       D             A
 And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away
                        F#m            D                   Bm
Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so?
G                  D                 A
 To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him "No"


[Refrain]

C#7              F#m
 Tears of rage, tears of grief
D                  A
Why must I always be the thief?
C#7                             F#m
Come to me now, you know we're so alone
D            A7    Dmaj7 A
 And life is brief


[Verse 2]

A                  F#m             D             Bm
It was all very painless  When you went out to receive
G                 D                  A
All that false instruction, which we never could believe
A                     F#m             D              Bm
And now the heart is filled with gold as if it was a purse
G                      D                  A
But, oh, what kind of love is this which goes from bad to worse?


[Refrain]

C#7               F#m
 Tears of rage, tears of grief
D                  A
Why must I always be the thief?
C#7                             F#m
Come to me now, you know we're so alone
D            A7    Dmaj7 A
 And life is brief


[Verse 3]

A              F#m            D                          Bm
We pointed you the way to go and scratched your name in sand
G                               D                A
Though you just thought it was nothing more than a place for you to stand
A                  F#m                        D                          Bm
I want you to know that while we watched you discovered no one would be true
G                          D                       A
And I myself was among the ones who thought it was just a childish thing to do


[Refrain]

C#7               F#m
 Tears of rage, tears of grief
D                  A
Why must I always be the thief?
C#7                             F#m
Come to me now, you know we're so alone
D            A7    Dmaj7 A
