Intro: F9/nr D#7-5/nr Dsus4 Cmin6/nr
Aadd9 A Gadd9 G Dadd9 D Dadd9 D
You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
Aadd9 A Gadd9 G Dadd9 D Dadd9 D
You could say I lost my belief in the holy church
Aadd9 A Gadd9 G Dadd9 D Dadd9 D
You could say I lost my sense of direction
Aadd9 A F#7sus4 F#m7
You could say all of this and worse but
Esus4 E F#7sus4 F#7 G G/A
If I ever lose my faith in you
Esus4 E F#7sus4 F#7 G6 A7sus A7/11
There'd be nothing left for me to do
Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
They all seemed like game show hosts to me
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
G6 Em G6 Em G6 Em G6 Em
F#m C#sus4 E9/nr Bsus Bsus4 C#sus4 F#
I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
C#sus4 D7-5/nr F#m9
But every time I close my eyes I see your face
Aadd9 A G Gadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dadd9
I never saw no miracle of science
Aadd9 A G Gadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dadd9
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse
Aadd9 A G Gadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dadd9
I never saw no military solution
Aadd9 A F#7sus4 F#m7
That didn't always end up as something worse but
Esus4 E D6

These might not be the real chords, but they're good enough to fool me :)
If you find any mistakes, PLEASE let me hear from you!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official STING tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
