[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
            A5            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 3]
Em              C             G             D
  More pain and misery in the history of mankind
Em             C
  Sometimes it seems more like
    G                 D
The blind leading the blind
Em           C              G
  It brings upon us more of famine,
          D
death and war
Em           C            G             D
  You know religion has a lot to answer for

[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 4]
Em            C
  And as they search to find
    G             D
The bodies in the sand
Em              C
  They find its ashes that are
G                    D
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
  And all because of it
      G                   D
You'd think that we would learn
Em              C              G          D
  But still the body count the city fires burn
Em                  C
  Somewhere there's someone dying
G            D
In a foreign land
Em              C
  Meanwhile the world is crying
   G         D
Stupidity of man
        A5
Tell me why?
        C   D
Tell me why?

[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
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 5]
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
Tell me why?
