People are people so why should it be,
Am/F                           Am/D
You and I should get along so awfully?

So we're different colours and we're different creeds,
And different people have different needs.
It's obvious you hate me though I've done nothing wrong.
I've never even met you so what could I have done?

 I can't understand,
               F
What makes a man
               G
hate another man

help me understand.

Now you're punching and you're kicking and you're shouting at me,
I'm relying on your common decency.
So far it hasn't surfaced,but I'm sure it exists,
It just takes a while to travel from your head to your fists.
Fmaj7             Dm9
 I can't understand,
               F
What makes a man
               G
hate another man

help me understand.

[Outro]
Fmaj7             Dm9

What makes a man
               G
hate another man
help me understand.
