Em
What has happened to our town
        C                            Em   C   Eb   F   G
There's people sleeping on the ground
Em
Cold and lost, they fear the night
C                                 Em   C   Eb   F
Left alone, they'll lose the fight

[Pre Chorus]
Em7          D               C                B7
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Em9              Dm7            C              B7
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Em9            Dm7              Cmaj7
Haven't you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Am9                  B7
Maybe we'd better, better get involved

[Chorus]
Eb                              F
We could stop the hurting for awhile
Bb                              Cmaj7
We could stop the hurting for awhile
Eb                       F
If we found a way to reconcile
Bb                   Cmaj7
We could stop the hurtin

[Verse 2]
Em7
Families living in their cars
     C
and kids run numbers out of bars
Em
Knowing pride won't pay the bills
      C                          Em   C   Eb   F
Men work jobs beneath their skills

[Pre Chorus]
Em7          D               C                B7
Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Em9              Dm7            C              B7
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Em9            Dm7              Cmaj7
Haven't you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Am9                  B7
Maybe we'd better, better get involved

[Chorus]
Eb                              F
We could stop the hurting for awhile
Bb                              Cmaj7
We could stop the hurting for awhile
Eb                       F
If we found a way to reconcile
Bb                   Cmaj7
We could stop the hurting
