Verse
Dm                      C     Bb                  Dm
  Make the sadness go away    Come back another day
                         C                 Bb            Dm 
For years I've tried to teach   But their eyes are empty
                      C     Bb               Dm
Empty, too, I have become   For them I must die
                    C           Bb                    Dm 
A sad and troubled race   An ungrateful troubled place
Chorus
Dm                          C
I see the sadness in their eyes
                      Dm
Melancholy in their cries
                         C
Devoid of all the passion
                         Dm
The human spirit cannot die
                          C
Look at the pain around me
                      Dm
This is what I cry for
                          C
Look at the pain around me
                         Dm _
This is what I'll die for

Verse 
Dm                    C   Bb                  Dm
Make the sadness go away  Come back another day
                          C          Bb              Dm
The things I've said and done  Don't matter to anyone
                     C             Bb                    Dm
But still,   you   push me to see  Something I can never be
                          C    Bb                   Dm
Why am I their shattered king  I don't mean anything
Chorus

 I see the sadness... etc.

                         C                            Dm
