[Verse 1]
      E     G#m      B
I can see it, as you are
          E     G#m       B
And I can see it, in your eyes
          E     G#m      B
And I can see it, as you are
          E      G#m      B
And I can see it, in your eyes
    E         G#m       B
The floodgates are now open
        E           G#m        B      E
And the lonely truth will flow out


[Chorus]
               G#m                  B      E
Why can't they leave things as they are?
               G#m           B      E
Why can't they leave things alone?


[Verse 2]
          E     G#m          B
I heard a friend drift by my window
        E  G#m        B
I saw a gun blow him away
          E     G#m       B
And I can see it, in your hand
          E      G#m      B       E
And I can see it, in your eyes


[Chorus]
             G#m                  B      E
Why can't we leave things as they are?
               G#m           B       E
Why don't they leave things alone?
             G#m                  B      E
Why can't we leave things as they are?
               G#m           B
Why don't they leave things alone?


[Bridge]
E
Always, we see rivers and fences
E
Always, we see beautiful mountains


[Solo]
E G#m B x2


[Verse 3]
          E     G#m      B
And I can see it, as you are
          E      G#m       B      E
And I can see it, in their eyes


[Chorus]
               G#m                  B      E
Why don't they leave things as they are?
             G#m           B       E
Why can't we leave things alone?
               G#m                  B      E
Why don't they leave things as they are?
             G#m           B       E
Why can't we leave things alone?
