verse
[Em]He stands a[D]lone outside the [C]blooming yards
[Em]All is ca[D]lm there on the s[C]treet
[Em]The shadows p[D]ass him hung [C]right over
[Em]The pain on his [D]face he knew he'd [C]keep...
[Em]His hair is l[D]ong, and it's t[C]wisted, it's twisted
[Em]Around the s[D]mile spread cheek[C] to cheek
[Em]Another chi[D]ld, another sou[C]l, grabs a hold
To the[Em] metal that will [D]end his m[C]isery...
(CHORUS:)
[G]One by one
We [D]stand beneath the [Em]sun
With arms h[C]igh open wi[D]de
[G]Two by two
[D]He's getting you
[Em]To watch him as he lea[C]ves this life he [D]knew[Em][D][C]
Verse 2
[Em]How much a[D]nger is set[C] aside
[Em]As each one[D] of us cr[C]ies
[Em]Red light they c[D]ome and they ta[C]ke him away
[Em]In the thoughts, he'll be [D]better, som[C]e day.
[Em]Tied tight, can'[D]t see out your eyes
That he'[C]s sure to shine, sure to shine
[Em]In this deep dark, pl[D]ayed out, reality [C]show
So,[EM] who's the [D]man, with the [C]plan,
eating up all that he c[EM]an?
Don't you [D]see, don't you se[C]e...
(CHORUS)
[G]One by one

With arms h[C]igh open wi[D]de
[G]Two by two
[D]He's getting you
[Em]To watch him as he lea[C]ves this life he [D]knew
Interlude-play chorus
[C]Do you ever think that things are mean[D]t to be?
I know [C]we all have our reasons why[D]
[C]And now the power of one human being[D]
Has gone and c[C]hanged so many lives...[D]
