Valvey distortion, reduce for verse or play softer so that the signal

breaks up less.



INTRO:

 What ever happened? [sample]

 G / Em7#9 / A x4



VERSE:

 G /Em(7#9) [Let ring]                  (A)

          Did I wipe the tear, or did I spit in your face?

       (Em)                          (A)

  Did I point the finger or give the hand of grace?

      C   F          Em(7#9)

  Oh why...does it come to this?



[Strike chords once]

  Em7(#9)                                         A

  Is it freedom that you want, or are the chains in your head?

    Em                         A

  Can a man play God, when He made his own bed?

     C     F         Em 

  Oh why...does it come to this?



CHORUS:

G / Em7#9                          A

        Whatever happened to the love that you made?

G / Em7#9                          A

        Whatever happened to the prayer that you prayed?

G / Em7#9                          A          C

        Whatever happens to a promise these days?





VERSE:[Play each note of the chord, upwards]

            Em7                           A

     Did the Earth disappear, when you told of the truth,

            Em7                             A

     Of the lands you would conquer, of the mountains you'd move?

          C   F               Em

     Oh why...does it come to this?





[As before]

Did you covenant or live the dream in your head?

Would you die for her or rather raise the dead?

Oh when...will I learn from this?
