Tell Me Why by P.O.D.
Tell Me Why
Intro: Eb Cm Gm Bb
Cm
A day with no glory
A heart filled with fear
Gm
Repeating his story to make ourselves clear
Cm
A voice is unheard when it shouts from the hills
Gm
Your king in his castle never died on these fields
Cm
There’s blood on your hands, a smile on your face
Gm
Wicked intention, there’s money to be made
Cm
A room with no windows and a heart that can’t feel
Gm
Shame with no convictions and a view ?to a kill?
Eb Cm
Tell me why, why must we fight
Gm Bb
Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right
Eb
And no more
Cm
No war
Gm Bb
‘Cause how do you know?
Cm
The hate in your eyes
The lies on your tongue
Gm
A hand that kills the innocent, so quick to do wrong
Cm
The belly is full while we fight for what remains
Gm
The rich getting richer while the poor become slaves
Cm
We kill our own brothers, the truth is never told
Gm
If victory is freedom, then the truth is untold
Cm
Surrender your soldiers like everyone else
Gm
If love is my religion, don’t speak for myself
Eb Cm
Tell me why, why must we fight
Gm Bb
Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right
Eb
And no more
Cm
No war
Gm Bb
‘Cause how do you know?
Eb Cm
And how do you know?
Gm Bb
And how do you know?
Eb Cm
And how do you know?
Gm Bb
And how do you know? (How do…)
Eb Cm
Please tell me why, why must we fight
Gm Bb
Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right
Eb
And no more
Cm
No war
Gm Bb
‘Cause how do you know?
Eb
I'm living this life,
Cm
I'm given these lies
Gm Bb
And how do I die in the name of what you think is right?
Eb
And no more
Cm
Oh Lord
Gm Bb
‘Cause how do we know?
Eb
And how do we know?

version 3
Tuning: Standard
**Capo 3rd**
I saw a video of this live and they actually play it in standard P.O.D.
tuning, which is drop C (drop D but the whole guitar down one step).
However, with a capo on 3rd in standard tuning it sounds pretty much
identical.
Intro:
First time round it's just one guitar, then both guitars play the intro again.

A day with no glory
A heart filled with fear
Still repeating his-story to make ourselves clear
A voice is unheard when it shouts from the hills
Your king in his castle never died on these fields
There's blood on you hands
A smile on your face
A wicked intention when there's money to be made
A room with no windows and a heart that can't feel
Shame with no convictions and a view to a kill.
Tell me why?
Why must we fight?
And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right?
No more! no war!
Cause how do you know?
The hate in your eyes
The lies on your tongue
A hand that kills the innocent
So quick to do wrong
Your belly is full while we fight for what remains
The rich getting richer while the poor become slaves
We kill our own brothers
The truth is never told
If victory is freedom then the truth is untold
Surrender your soul just like everyone else
If love is my religion, don't speak for myself
[chorus]
How do you know?
[chorus]
I'm living this life
I'm given these lies
And how can i die for the name of what you think is right?
No more! oh lord!
How do we know?
