Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Dsus4][Dm][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Take,
take a look [Dsus4]at the sky
Some[Dm]times your heaven
seems to [D]far away
Take, take a look under [Dsus4]here[C]
[Dsus4]Where deprivati[Dm]on turns into decay
[D]I've stood under this rain,
felt [Dsus4]it seep into my b[C]rain
[Dsus4]I've shut[Dm] my eyes and
crawled around [D]this mud
I'm scared of growin' old,
[Dsus4]I shiver when I'm cold
[Dm]Don't you think I bleed
the same [D]blood?[Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Am]I, I[D] cou[Am]ld've been you,[C]
[D]you could've been me[G]
[D]One small change [F]that shapes
your des[Asus4]tiny
If [Am]you want the [C]proof, cut [D]me and you'll [G]see
I could've been you,
[D]you [F]could've bee[D]n me

[Verse 3]
Wait, wait before you turn [Dsus4]off[C]
[Dsus4]May be th[Dm]ere's
a chance we can [D]relate
Wait, everybody turns [Dsus4]on
[Dm]Why deny a fact that's so [D]innate?
It's not so easy anymore,
the way you [Dsus4]used to keep scor[C]e
[Dsus4]Not so black[Dm] and white,
the color [D]of your sin
Take a walk inside my shoes,
a [Dsus4]path I didn't choose
[Dm]Spend the night inside of my [D]skin[Dm]

[Verse 4]
[D]I, [Am]I could've been you,[C]
[D]you[C] could'[D]ve been me[G]
[D]One small change [F]that shapes
your des[Asus4]tiny
If [Am]you want the [C]proof, cut [D]me [G]and you'll see
I could've been [D]you,
[F#m]you co[F]uld've been me[E]

[Verse 5]
[E]Change is turning into fear,
fear is melting into hate
With hate you justify your crime,
a crime compassion can [Em]erase
Erase
[E]Erase

[Verse 6]
[D]Touch, touch what [Dsus4]I feel
And [Dm]know I believe [D]everything I say
So go, go [Dsus4]if you must
[Dm]Remember one thing as you
[D]walk [Dm]away:[Am][Asus4]
I, I [Am]could've been

[Verse 7]
[C]you,
you [D]could've been [G]me
[D]One small change [F]that shapes
your des[Asus4]tiny
If you [Am]want the [C]proof,
cut [G]me [D]and [F]you'll see[D]
I could've [F]been [G]you, [D]you[F] could'[Am]ve been m[Asus4]e[Am][C][D][G][D][F]
