Hey 	why can't you listen
As	love screams everywhere

					B5
					You crucify all honesty

					No signs you see do you believe
					       D5
					And all you words just twist and turn

					Reviving just to crash and burn
       					B5
					You're fighting till the bitter end
			   					     D5
					If only your heart could open up

					And listen
Guitar1 plays Riff1 x 4
