Capo 3 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" 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 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? 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 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 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
