[Verse 1]
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
It’s a 5AM wake up call, you're screaming
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
And all I could do was look through the gap in the window
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
Scared, shut in, see, no one's helping
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
No bystanders
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
Then you disappeared
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
I’m not sure, I think there was an altercation
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
It all too often happens down my road
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
Broken glass bottles and the blood-spat pavements
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
Cruelty trails
[Chorus]
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
I’m just so sorry about what happened
A#m F#/G# F#maj7
I can't imagine how you must have felt
A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7 A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7
Burning
[Bridge]
A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7
And what about that man that hurt you?
A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7
Did he just go home and take off his shoes?
A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7
Did he lie quite calmly against his lover?
A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7
Did he even once think about the pain he'd caused to another?
[Outro]
A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7
Oh, you can try and sleep well
A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7
But cruelty trails
A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7
You can try and sleep well
A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7
But cruelty trails
A#m Cadd9/C# F#maj7
