	Em        C   
	Another head hangs lowly
 	     G           F#m

 	but you see, it's not me

 	it's not my family
 	         G
 	in your head, in your head
 	              F#m
 	they are fighting
 	                Em
 	With their tanks, and their bombs, 
 	                C
 	and their bombs, and their guns
 	             G                        F#m
 	In your head, in your head they are cryin'

	Another mother's breakin'
	Heart is taking over
	When the vilence causes silence
	We must be mistaken

	With their tanks and their bombs
	And their bombs and their guns
	In your head, in your head, they are dying
