[INTRO: ]C G Am Am/G F C G Am Am/G F
C G
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm blind
Am Am/G F
'Cause I can't understand the kinda mind
C G
That kills for God, or money or the land
Am Am/G F
It just seems odd to take that kinda stand
Some on the East side, some on the West
Who think that somehow their way is best
But there are some there in the middle
Whose lives have come to mean so little
CHORUS:
Em Am
You can preach all you want to
Em F
And make up for ever more
C/B Am F
I know you wanna walk into another world
C G C
But I don't see no beautiful door
BREAK: Am F C G C
I can't help myself, I like this place
And leaving's not a thing I wanna face
But those who want to go, knock yourselves out
Just don't take those who don't care about
Your power dreams and your golden gates
'Cause I hear their screams as you deal their fates
You'll never kill this world, but I am afraid
That you'll take away those you say God made
CHORUS
C/B Am F
I know you wanna walk into another world
C G C
But I don't see no beautiful door
C/B Am F
You say you wanna talk about a better world
C G C
But you've closed that beautiful door
