[D///]Born into a war[Em///] and peace
Forced to [D///]choose between a right and wrong[G] [D] [G]
[D///]Each man kills [Em///]a thing he loves
For [D///]better or for worse[G] [D] [G]
[Em]Face to face with a [D]ragged truth
[G]Mixed up and torn in two[A]
[Em]And turned your back [D]on the only thing
That could [G]save you from yourself[A]
WHERE WERE YOU HID[D///]ING
WHEN THE [G///]STORM BROKE
WHEN THE [D///]RAIN BEGAN TO FALL[G] [D] [G]
[Em]WHEN THE THUNDER AND [D]THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
[D]AND THE RAIN AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL
[D///]After all time build[Em///]ing up
Comes in[D///]evitable knocking down
[G](O[D]NE[G] BY ONE)
[D///]Come r[Em///]eceivers, liars, gamblers
[D///]Pick pocket entourage
[G](T[D]WO[G] BY TWO)
[Em]Selling out is a [D]cardinal sin
[G]Sinning with a safety net[A] (THREE BY THREE)
[Em]They say that all things [D]come in threes
[G]Here comes the third degree[A]
D (let ring)
All cards are marked
And all fates will collide
>
[D///]The truth is the truth
Or the truth is surely a lie
[Bm///]Get back in your [A///]shelter
If you can't[G] come [D]down off[G] the[A/] fenc[//]e
[Bm///]And one more [A///]question
Where were [G]yo[D]u?[G]
[G]Where were you?
[A]WHERE WERE YOU [D]HIDING
WHEN THE [G]STORM BROKE
WHEN THE [D]RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
[G]WHERE WERE YOU HI[D]DING[Em]
FOUR. [D]WINDS. [G]HO[D]WL[G].
