Verse 1:               

2x
          / \
E5 c5 d5 c5 d5
E5 c5 d5 b5 d5

E5                    c5
Sometimes it makes me wonder                                     
d5                    c5      d5
Sometimes it makes me question                                     
E5                    c5
Sometimes it makes me saddened                                    
d5                 b5    d5
Always it makes me angry but
                             

E5                  c5
When you can see it happening
d5                     c5         d5
The madness that's all around you
E5              c5
Nobody seens to worry
d5                 b5           d5
The World seens so powerless to act

It's out of control                                     
Blood on The World's hands                                         
Each day a new toll

Verse 2:
                                        
Another assassination                                      
The same day a new creation                                      
But what are they coming into                                     
Security of a world that brings ...
                                        
One day another killing                                   
Somewhere there's someone starving                                        
Another a savage raping                                  
Meanwhile there's someone laughing at us

I didn't tab the second solo because I got pretty tired of the song.
 
                ......hope someone will fix it....

Verse 3

Brutality and aggression                                      
Tomorrow another lesson                                      
Expecting another air raid                                       
Praying for a ceasefire ...
                                     
They say things are getting better                                        
No need to be complacent                                     
There's chaos across the border
And one day it could be happening to us

Chorus ( 2 times ):                                   

It's out of control                                       
Blood in The World's hands                                           
It's our epitaph                                          
It's out of control                                         
Someone should know                                     
Blood on The World's hands
                                          
Someone should
