CAPO 3
Intro: E7 E E7 E
(E)What if I told you it was done with mirrors (E7)
(E)What if I showed you it was (A)all a (E)lie
Better be careful, someone might hear ya
The (D)walls have ears and the (A)sky has (E7)(E)eyes (E7)
(E)What if I said you were only dreamin' (E7)
(E)What you wanna bet that all you (A)gotta (E)do
Is open up your eyes and you will wake up screamin'
(D)When you realize that it's (A)all come (E7)(E)true
Chorus
(E7)Hush, (E)now don't you believe it
(D)Cover your head and (A)close your (E7)eyes
(E)Now, take it or leave it
(D)Go back to bed
Now (A)don't you (E7)(E)cry (E7) (E)
(E)Half a million soldiers fly across the water (E7)
(E)One in ten are never comin' (A)back a(E)gain
Fifty thousand sons who never grew to fathers

(E)What if you could've been there on that day in Dallas (E7)
(E)What if you could wrestle back the (A)hands of (E)time
Maybe somethin' could've been done in Memphis

Chorus
(E)Go on and tell yourself again there are no secrets (E7)
(E)Go on and tell yourself that you (A)don't wanna (E)know
It's best that you believe that you don't hear the footsteps
That (D)follow you around no matter (A)where you (E)go
Maybe you were thinkin' that it didn't matter (E7)
(E)Maybe you believed nobody (A)else would (E)care
