How to Play The song revolves around the I-vi-IV-V chord progression, one of my favorites, used frequently by the Beatles and Carole King, among others. It's great for getting that classic pop sound, in my opinion.
The chorus is C Am F G, the first part of the bridge is C G F G, and the second is C Am F G. The opening verses are Dm, slide down two frets, then Am.
once upon a time there was a lonely boy
who always lived in fear
he never learned how to trust in life
never learned what to believe
so even at home he felt so alone
the kind of loneliness you just don't know
but he never came to know the source of his pain
and so on himself he put all of the blame
so on himself he put all of the blame
well i wonder from where that idea came
CHORUS
child abuse, child abuse
whatever you do don't make it come true
it's child abuse, child abuse
it's the worst thing you can ever do
it's true
so all you victims
all you victims listen up
the only way to end the pain
is to end the blame
so don't perpetuate the pain
the pain of child abuse
by refusing to call a truce
instead look inside and realize
the pain you choose to deny
is the pain you choose you keep alive
so if you can find a way to heal
all of the hurt
you'll find what you reveal
is the blessing's birth
yeah that's what happens when you take the curse
and just put it in reverse
CHORUS
child abuse, child abuse
the saddest thing is that it happens everyday
it's child abuse, child abuse
let's make a firm decision
let's take a strong position
to make the condition of child abuse
go away
