[Intro]
E B C#m

[Vers 1]
C#m                            G#m
See the children cower in the classroom
C#m                            B
Hiding from the gunmans deadly aim
F#m                          C#m
See the broken family at the border
               A        B       C#m
Their dream of freedom, down in flames.

                              G#m
See mother earth, she´s slowly dying
 C#m                    B
A victim of our selfish ways.
 F#m                          C#m
See the men in power they are lying
              A     B         C#m
But for their sins, they never pay.


[Chorus]
           E                      A
Our better angels, where did they go?
           E                 B
Our better angels, I want to know.
            C#m                    A
Where´s our compassion, will truth survive?
             E                    B           C#m
Don’t want a world without better angels in my life.
             E                    B             E
Don't want a world without better angels in my life.


[Verse 2]
 C#m                           G#m
See the young boy lying on the pavement
 C#m                      B
black hoodie was his only crime.
 F#m                            C#m
See the father struggle to make payments
          A          B        C#m
he works three jobs, all part time.

                               G#m
See the wasted lives and human heartbrake
 C#m                             B
big pharma´s pills make us their slaves
  F#m                      C#m
see the other nations turn against us
            A      B          C#m
land of the free, home of the brave.


[Chorus]
           E                      A
Our better angels, where did they go?
           E                 B
Our better angels, I want to know.
            C#m                    A
Where´s our compassion, will truth survive?
             E                    B           C#m
Don’t want a world without better angels in my life.
             E                    B             E
Don't want a world without better angels in my life.


[Verse 3]
 C#m                            G#m
See the people feeling all this sadness
 C#m                              B
hoping for the day when change will come.
 F#m                          C#m
But wishing just prolongs the madness
                 A         B          C#m
and we ignore the things, that must be done.


[Bridge]
             A                  G#m
Give me your wings, teach me to fly
         F#m               B           E
so i can fight against the hatred and fear.
         A                 G#m
Open my eyes, and show me what i need to do
         F#m              G#m                 A            B
so i can start to fix one tiny piece, of this whole broke world.


[Chorus]
           E                      A
Our better angels, where did they go?
           E                 B
Our better angels, I want to know.
            C#m                    A
Where´s our compassion, will truth survive?
             E                    B           C#m
Don’t want a world without better angels in my life.
             E                    B             E
Don't want a world without better angels in my life.

            C#m                    A
Where´s our compassion, will truth survive?
             E                    B           C#m
Don’t want a world without better angels in my life.
             E                    B             E
Don't want a world without better angels in my life.
