[Verse 1]
            G                  Bb
Mother, mother, tell your children
           C            Bb  G
That their time has just  begun
                      Bb
I have suffered for my  anger
              C                 Eb F
There are wars that can't be won
            G                 Bb
Father, father, please believe  me
     C           Bb G
I am laying down my guns
                    Bb
I am broken like an arrow
   C
Forgive me
   Eb           F       G
Forgive your wayward son

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb            C Bb G
  Mother, mother
Please believe me
Bb             C
  And it's hard to hold on
               Eb           F
When there's no  one to lean on

[Chorus]
G       Bb                                         F
 Faith: you know you're gonna live through the rain
     C                          G
Lord, we've gotta keep the faith
       Bb                                  F
Faith: don't you let your love turn to hate

         Tell me baby when I hurt  you

[Verse 2]
       C                 G
Do you keep it all inside
                     Bb
Do you tell me all's forgiven
         C                      Eb    F
And just hide behind your pride,  yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
G Bb            C Bb G
    Mother, father
Please don't leave me
Bb              C
  Well it's hard to be strong
               Eb            F
When there's no  one to dream on

[Chorus]
G       Bb                                         F

Don't you know it's never too late

Right now we've gotta keep the faith

[Break]
G
I've been 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
Mother father
              Bb                       C
There's things  I've done I can't erase
Bb G
  E
very night we fall from grace
     Bb                          C
It's hard with the world in your face
                  Eb      F          G
Trying to hold on,  trying to hold on

[Chorus]
       Bb                                         F
Faith: you know you're gonna live through the rain
     C                          G
Lord, we've gotta keep the faith
Faith!
Bb                                F
Don't you know it's never too late
      C                             G
Right now we've gotta keep the faith
       Bb                                  F
Faith: don't you let your love turn to hate
    Eb                F         G
Lord  we've gotta keep the faith
