[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][Bm][A][G][D]
[A]

[Verse 1]
There ain't [G]no
reason things are this [D]way
It's how they've always [A]been
and they intend [Bm]to stay
[A]I can't ex[G]plain why we live this [D]way
We do it every [A]day

[Verse 2]
Preachers on [G]the podiums speaking
[D]of saints
Prophets on the [A]sidewalk
begging for change
[Bm]Old ladi[A]es laughing [G]from the
fire es[D]cape
Cursing [A]my name

[Verse 3]
I got a basket full of [G]lemons and they
all taste the [D]same
A window and a [A]pi geon with
a broken [Bm]wing
[A]You could spend your [G]whole
life working [D]for something
Just to have it [A]taken away

[Verse 4]
People [G]walk around pushing
back their [D]debts
[A]Wearing paychecks like
necklaces and [Bm]bracelets
[A]Talking about [G]nothing,
not thinking 'bout [D]death
Every little [A]heartbeat, every [Bm]little breath
[A]People walk a

[Verse 5]
[G]tight rope on
a razor's [D]edge
Carrying their [A]hurt and hatred
[Bm]and weapons
[A]It could be a [G]bomb, or a bullet or a [D]pen
Or thought, or a [A]word or a sentence

[Verse 6]
There ain't no reas[G]on things
are this [D]way
It's how they always [A]been
and they intend [Bm]to stay
[A]I don't know why [G]I say the things I say
[D]But I say them anyway[A]

[Verse 7]
But love will come, set me [Bm]free[G][A]
Love will come, set [Bm]me free,
I [G]do be[A]lieve
Love will come, set me [Bm]free,
I [G]know it [A]will
Love will come, set me [Bm]free, [G]yes[A]

[Verse 8]
Prison wall[G]s still standing tall
[D]Some things n[A]ever change at a[Bm]ll
[A]Keep on building [G]prisons,
gonna fill them [D]all
Keep on building [A]bombs,
gonna drop them all

[Verse 9]
Working your [G]fingers bare to the bone
[D]Breaking your back,[A]
make you sell [Bm]your soul
[A]Like a [G]lung, it's filled with cold
[D]Suffocating slo[A]w

[Verse 10]
The wind blows [G]wild and I may move
[D]The politicians lie[A] and I am not fooled
[Bm]You don'[A]t need no razo[G]r
or a three piece [D]suit
To argue [A]the truth

[Verse 11]
They air [G]on my skin in the
world under my [D]toes
Slavery [A]stitched to the fabric of my clothes
[Bm]Chao[A]s and commotio[G]n wherever I go[D]
Love I try [A]to follow

[Verse 12]
Love will come, set me [Bm]free[G][A]
Love will come, set [Bm]me free,
[G]I do bel[A]ieve
Love will come, set me [Bm]free, I [G]know [A]it will
Love will come, set me [Bm]free, [G]yes[A]

[Verse 13]
There ain't no reas[G]on
things are [D]this way
It's how they've always [A]been
and they intend [Bm]to stay
[A]I can't ex[G]plain why we live this way
[D]We do it every day
