[Intro]
G ~ Em    C D G  C   G  C
 
[Verse 1]
      Em                         C                  G
Do we close our curtains when we hear our neighbour call
      D                             C             G
So we won’t see him suffer when his back's to the wall?
~     Em                  C               G
Do we sit back silent and watch a brother fall?
      D                      C            G    C   G  C
Do we love so little, we are no friend at all?
 
 
[Chorus 1]
      D
Do we look right past him 
  C               G     ~
Tell him life’s a glass thing
Em                        C      D
Prone to shatter, full of vast unknowns
         G
Where we pay for every last thing 
    C             G    ~
And retribution’s fast sting
Em                  C    D   G          C   G  C
Comes from hands forever casting stones
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Em                  C           G
Do we cut and condemn and never comprehend
     D                 C       G    ~
That trust can turn into a dividend
    Em                  C             G
And love will leave you richer in the end
         D                      C       G      C   G  C
Or do we love so little, we are no true friend
 
 
[Chorus 2]
          D
Oh, is it easier to blast him 
    C                  G   ~
And spend our time forecasting
     Em                    C             D
That he’ll, no doubt, lose everything he owns
     G
We remember every past thing 
    C            G   ~
Our memory’s everlasting
    Em           C    D       G      C   G  C
And so we are forever casting stones
 
 
[Instrumental]
Em    C D G  C   G  C
 
 
[Verse 3]
        Em                   C       G
When he looks on luck, do we have to have it
        D                     C        G
When he bends his back, do we reach to stab it
~     Em                       C      G
If he has a little hope, do we always grab it
    D                     C         G       C   G  C
And drag him down, like a hound on a rabbit
 
 
[Chorus 1]
      D
Do we look right past him 
  C               G     ~
Tell him life’s a glass thing
Em                        C      D
Prone to shatter, full of vast unknowns
         G
Where we pay for every last thing 
    C             G    ~
And retribution’s fast sting
Em                  C    D
Comes from hands forever
  G                  C            G   ~
Remember casting are memories everlasting
    Em N.C.
And so we are forever casting stones
