Intro G | F | G | G | Bb | C | G

Verse 1
G                               Bb                       C   G
Mother mother tell your children that their time has just begun
G                        Bb         C            Eb      F    G
I have suffered for my anger, there are wars that can't be won

Verse 2
Father father please believe me I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow forgive me forgive your wayward son

Verse 3
(Everybody needs somebody to love) mother mother (Everybody needs somebody to hate) please believe me
Everybody's bitching 'cause they can't get enough and it's hard to hold on when there's no one to lean on

Chorus
G             Bb                                         F       C             G
Faith! You know you're gonna live thru the rain Lord you got to keep the faith
G             Bb                                         F       C            G
Faith! Don't let your love turn to hate right now we got to keep the faith
G
Keep the faith, keep the faith Lord we got to keep the faith
G | Bb | C | G

Verse 4
Tell me baby when I hurt you do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me all's forgiven and just hide behind your pride

Verse 5
(Everybody needs somebody to love) mother mother (Everybody needs somebody to hate) please believe me
Everybody's bleeding 'cause the times are tough and it's hard to be strong when there's no one to dream on

Chorus
Faith! You know you're gonna live thru the rain Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith! You know it's not to late right now we got to keep the faith
Faith! Don't let your love turn to hate Lord we got to keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith Lord we got to keep the faith

Solo G | Bb | C | G (3x), G | Bb | C | Eb - F | G

Verse 6

Walking in the footsteps of society's lies I don't like what I see no more, sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever to stand out in the rain so no one sees me cryin' trying to wash away the pain

Verse 7

Mother father there's things I've done I can't erase every night we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in your face, trying to hold on, trying to hold on.

Chorus
Faith! You know you're gonna live thru the rain Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith! Don't let your love turn to hate right now we got to keep the faith
Keep the faith, Keep the faith try to hold on, trying to hold on
Faith! Keep the faith, Keep the faith try to hold on, trying to hold on
