G 
America's on fire 

There's protests in the street 
C9 
Her conscience has been looted 

And her soul is under…siege 
Am                      C9 
Another…mother's crying, as …history repeats 
             G 
I can't breathe 

G 
God damn those…8 long minutes 

Lying face down in cuffs on the ground 
C9 
Bystanders âŸpleaded âŸfor âŸmercy 

As one, copâŸshoved a kid âŸin the crowd 
Am 
When did a judge and a jury 
C9                                      G 
Become a badge and a knee on these streets? 

C9          G 
Stay alive, stay alive 
Am             G 
Shine a light, stay alive 
Em7                G            C9 
Use your voice and you remember me 
               G 
American reckoning 

G 
I'll never know what it's like 

To walk a mile in his shoes 
C9 
And I'll never have to have the talk 

So it don't happen to you 
Am 
Three little words written 'cross the chest 
C9 
Of a twelve year old who hasn't lived life yet 
G 
Am I next? Am I next? 

C9          G 
Stay alive, stay alive 
Am             G 
Shine a light, stay alive 
Em7                G            C9 
Use your voice and you remember me 
               G 
American reckoning 

Solo Em7  C  D 
       Em7  C  D 
       Am  C9  G 

G 
Is this a moment or movement? 

Is this the tide or a flood? 
C9 
Is our American reckoning? 

Our story written in blood 
       Am 
Or in love 
        C9 
Or in peace 

C9          G 
Stay alive, stay alive 
Am             G 
Shine a light, stay alive 
Em7                G            C9 
Use your voice and you remember me 
               G 
American reckoning 

C9          G 
Stay alive, stay alive 
Am             G 
Shine a light, stay alive 
Em7                G            C9 
Use your voice and you remember me 
               G 
American reckoning
