Intro: C#5 A5 B5 C#5 A5 B5 C#5 A5 B5 C#5 A5 B5 A5 G#5Verse 1:
C#5 B5 A5 B5 There are desperate times upon us, there are codes of white and black A5 E5 F#5 G#5 Political resentment, and people start to crack C#5 B5 A5 B5 There's hate and opposition, there's fumbling dialogue A5 E5 F#5 G#5 B5 A5 B5 And you sit there and judge me and you think it makes a differenceInterlude: B5 C#5 B5 C#5 B5 A5Verse 2:
C#5 B5 A5 B5 If you think I'm all alone, you are foolishly wrong A5 E5 F#5 G#5 There's an entire army who blindly follow along C#5 B5 A5 B5 And you happen to be one of them, believe it or not A5 E5 F#5 G#5 C#5 Even though you try not to be, we are of the same plagueBridge:
C#5 The other ways we're taught to fear B5 A5 B5 Don't even scratch the surface of the problem here C#5 But I'm not blind, and I'm not scared B5 A5 B5 So many crucial factors exist out there C#5 And we're but one, and they're but two A5 B5 C#5 B5 And how we come to terms will help us pull throughOutro: C#5 A5 B5 You create your own reality E5 B5 And leave mine to me, leave mine to me B5 C#5 Leave mine to me, leave mine to meVerse 3:
C#5 B5 A5 B5 Things cannot change too fast, it took us this much time C#5 B5 A5 B5 To reach our current platform and walk this fragile line C#5 B5 A5 B5 If I thought I'd make a difference, I'd kill myself today C#5 B5 A5 B5 C#5 B5 But so many are like me, lost in the fray
