[Intro]
Em Am Em
Em
[Verse]
Em C
Are you a man of peace
G D
Or a man of holy war?
Em C
Too many sides to you
G D
Don't know which anymore
Em C
So many full of life
G D
But also filled with pain
Em C
Don't know just how many
G D
Will live to breathe again
Em C
A life that's made to breathe
G D
Destruction or defense
Em C
A mind that's vain corruption
G D
Bad or good intent
Em C
A wolf in sheep's clothing
G D
Or saintly or sinner
Em C
Or some that would believe
G D
A holy war winner
Em C
They fire off many shots
G D
And many parting blows
Em C
Their actions beyond a reasoning
G D
Only God would know
Em C
And as he lies in heaven
G D
Or it could be in hell
Em C
I feel he's somewhere here
G D
Or looking from below
Am C D
But I don't know, I don't know
[Chorus]
Em
Please tell me now what life is
C G D
Please tell me now what love is
Em
Well, tell me now what war is
Am C D
Again, tell me what life is
[Verse 2]
Em C G D
More pain and misery in the history of mankind
Em C G D
Sometimes it seems more like the blind leading the blind
Em C G D
It brings upon us more of famine, death and war
Em C G D
You know religion has a lot to answer for
[Chorus 2]
Em
Please tell me now what life is
C G D
Please tell me now what love is
Em
Well, tell me now what war is
Am C D
Again, tell me what life is
[Verse 3]
Em C G D
And as they search to find the bodies in the sand
Em C G D
They find its ashes that are scattered across the land
Em C G D
And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind
Em C G D
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins
Em C G D
And all because of it you'd think that we would learn
Em C G D
But still the body count the city fires burn
Em C G D
Somewhere there's someone dying in a foreign land
Em C G D
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man
Am
Tell me why?
C
Tell me why?
[Chorus 3]
Em
Please tell me now what life is
C G D
Please tell me now what love is
Em
Well, tell me now what war is
Am C D
Again, tell me what life is
Em
Please tell me now what life is
C G D
Please tell me now what love is
Em
Well, tell me now what war is
Am C D
Again, tell me what life is
[Bridge]

Em C
He gave his life for us
G D
He fell upon the cross
Em C
To die for all of those
G D
Who never mourn his loss
Em C
It wasn't meant for us
G D
To feel the pain again
Am
Tell me why?
C D Em
Tell me why?
Are you a man of peace, or a man of holy war?
Too many sides to you, don't know which anymore
So many full of life, but also filled with pain
Don't know just how many will live to breathe again
A life that's made to breathe destruction or defense
A mind that's vain, corruption, bad or good intent
A wolf in sheep's clothing, or saintly or sinner
Or some that would believe a holy war winner
They fire off many shots and many parting blows
Their actions beyond the reasoning only God would know
And as He lies in Heaven, or it could be in Hell
I feel he's somewhere here, or looking from below
But I don't know, I don't know
Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well, tell me now what war is
Again, tell me what life is
More pain and misery in the history of mankind
Sometimes it seems more like the blind leading the blind
It brings upon us more of famine, death and war
You know, religion has a lot to answer for
Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well, tell me now what war is
Again, tell me what life is
And as they search to find the bodies in the sand
They find its ashes that are scattered across the land
And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind
A shot is fired somewhere, another war begins
And all because of it, you'd think that we would learn
But still the body count, the city fires burn
Somewhere, there's someone dying in a foreign land
Meanwhile, the world is crying, "stupidity of man"
Tell me why, tell me why
Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well, tell me now what war is
Again, tell me what life is
Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well, tell me now what war is
Again, tell me what life is
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well, tell me now what war is
Again, tell me what life is
Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well, tell me now what war is
Again, tell me what life is
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
For the greater good of God
He gave his life for us, he fell upon the cross
To die for all of those who never mourn his loss
It wasn't meant for us to feel the pain again
Tell me why
Tell me why
