Verse 1
Em 
Warplanes fly in terror waves, orders are withdrawn 
 
Horses rear with nostrils flared, a child is stillborn 
    Am 
All afternoon as hell pours down, families stand like rock 
C                                                G 
Holding hands in fear and rage, reeling with the shock 
 
Chorus
Em       C             D            
Who will answer to themselves 
    Em              D 
The simple question why? 
Em      C                D            
We must search within ourselves 
  Em              C 
Beneath the angry sky 
 
Verse 2
Em 
Nothing moves, the town lies still behind its ruined face 
 
A single oak defiant in the silent marketplace 
  Am 
A school of shattered lives inside the broken window panes 
    C                                                   G 
The hope of all those burned inside is all that still remains 
 
Chorus
Em       C             D            
Who will answer to themselves 
    Em              D 
The simple question why? 
Em      C                D            
We must search within ourselves 
  Em              C 
Beneath the angry sky

Bridge
  C                                  Em 
A light of hope still burns behind a single shuttered door 
   Am                                 C               D 
Despite its broken heart, the town is stronger than before 
 
Chorus
Em       C             D            
Who will answer to themselves 
    Em              D

Beneath the angry sky
