Artist: Street Dogs Song: Shards of Life Album: Fading American Dream Tabbed by: hyperliteBo G C G So when the smoke and the fire of anther attack slowly drift away D C G Can anyone seem to find the appropriate words to say? G C G When the pain of loss and sudden change conjure family strife D C G Is there any hope at all for a return to normal life? G C G D C G G C G Is there solace in condolence or just deeper pain dug up? D C G The sad truth is victim's families have nothing to look forward to G C G And I'm sick of picking up the Boston Globe and seeing painful days of loss D C G Question everything without apology about the horror and the cost D C G Shards of life are left behind, no easier, kinder path to find D C G With a loss so bitter, so incomplete, with it hopes and plans crash in defeat G C G And hope is a foggy and distant memory no hope for normalcy D C G Cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life, of life G C G D C G G C G We see a new war in the offing as we're challenged by a new plight D C G It's media handle is terrorism, it's the same old ideological fight G C G The debates will rage on, are we handling this thing right? D C G Can't turn away reality, can't push it out of our mind's eye D C G Shards of life are left behind, no easier, kinder path to find D C G With a loss so bitter, so incomplete, with it hopes and plans crash in defeat G C G And hope is a foggy and distant memory no hope for normalcy D C G Cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life G C G And civilian loss on the other side, is that something that we try to hide? D C G What about the human condition, I'm sick of all these justifications G C G Where is the real outrage? My god, there's got to be a better way D C G Is this how we solve problems? I guess we haven't really evolved much D C G Shards of life are left behind, no easier, kinder path to find D C G With a loss so bitter, so incomplete, with it hopes and plans crash in defeat G C G And hope is a foggy and distant memory no hope for normalcy D C G Cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life. D C G And cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life D C D Cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life
