            [Intro]
Am
 
[Verse 1]
Am
Is there an evil in this world?
 
Yes, there's an evil in this world
            Dm
Is there an evil in this world?
                 Am
Yes, there's an evil in this world
        Dm      Em           F
And it creeps up from behind you
                        Am
When you are least suspectin'
 
[Verse 2]
           Am
Is there a dog in this race?
 
Yes, there's a dog in this race
        Dm
I'm lookin' at his tail
                   Am

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



But I'm thinkin' about his face
     Dm                 Em
So I keep on pushin' forward
  F                  Am
Acquirin' and collectin'
 
             Dm     Em
Is there an absolute beginnin'
     F
Or something beyond the end?
            Dm           Em
Will I come back as that dog?
               F
Will I have to live through this again?
      Dm            Em
The truth seeps out between us
       F                         Am
In the spaces that we're neglecting
 
[Interlude]

Dm  Em  F     Am
 
[Verse 3]
     Am
When push comes to shove
 
And our devils come at us running
            Dm
Will we be caught in the flood
                        Am
Or something far less stunning?
           Dm              Em
Will that serum keep us honest
          F                   Am
From the answers we're deflecting?
 
[Verse 4]
           Am
There's a voice within the void
 
And I swear it sounds familiar
               Dm
Within the truths that we've destroyed
                    Am
Whisperin', "Come here"
          Dm             Em
And the answer is within you
       F                   Am
But it keeps on disconnecting
 
            Dm            Em
There's an evil in this world
       F
I've seen it in the news
     Dm        Em
Of babies dead in schools
      F
Or scattered in the pews
     Dm                Em
For reasons without answers
      F                    Am
In the dark, beyond protection
 
[Interlude]

Dm  Em  F     Am
 
[Verse 5]
           Am
I'm moving through the void
 
Starin' down the fright show
     Dm
Standin' in the darkness
                            Am
Just waiting for the light show
   Dm             Em
I try with all my might
           F                       Am
To seek the truth you've been rejecting
 
[Verse 6]
     Am
Seeking some salvation
 
To the limits of my talents
    Dm
I hold my family close
                           Am
Just tryin' to find the balance
             Dm            Em
Between the bad shit goin' down
    F                                   Am
And the beauty this life can keep injecting
 
            Dm            Em
There's a whiplash in the news
    F
The evil man's tirades
      Dm       Em
A joker's motorcade
F
And military parades
     Dm         Em            F
Lives in the balance of the dirty deals made
             Am
To win elections

[Outro]
Dm          Em       F
Guns and ammunition, babies in a cage
         Dm              Em
They say nothing can be done
         F
But they tell us how they prayed
        Dm             Em                F
In the end, we're just standin' watchin' greatness fade
 
       Am
Into darkness
         Am
