#Song Notes:
#Listen for palm mutes and pick scrapes. They are quite evident. If you don't
#know how to do a pick scrape correctly you just take your pick and go from the
#bridge (tail piece) and scrape your pick, holding it perpendicular to the
#strings, to the headstock. Timing is also easy so you should pick right up on
#it. Just listen. Easy enough. :)
Chord Key:
Intro: (Drums + Piano)
Verse 1:
The start of Armageddon, It was just another day
D A G (pick scrape) A
We all saw the news nothing to say
So many friends are missing, and family members gone
So we all pray to God "help them be strong"
And now we stand together, remembering that day
The lives we live will never be the same
Chorus 1:
And we don't know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?
And we don't know why
But we know its not right
Don't know why so many had to die
G A D (pick scrape)
We don't know why so many had to die
Verse 2:
Hate is turned to others for their religion or their skin
But hate can't stop the problem it began
Everyone is angry, people are afraid
And no one knows what decisions will be made
Chorus 2:
We don't know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?
And we don't know why
But we know it's not right
We don't know why so many had to die
G A D (pick scrape)
Don't know why so many had to die
(solo)

Harm.
Chorus 3:
We don't know why (don't know why)
The innocent die (don't know why)
Will this world ever find a way to change
And we don't know why (don't know why)
But we know its not right (don't know why)
Will any of us ever be the same
Will any of this ever be the same
