Second Nature Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][C][G][C][G][A]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]A
memo to a higher [G]office[D]
Open letter to the powers that [G]be
[D]To a God, a King, a head [G]of state
[D]A captain of ind[G]ustry
To [D]the movers and [G]the shakers
[A]Can't everybody see?

[Verse 2]
[G]
It ought to be second nature
I mean, the places where we live
Let's talk about this sensibly
We're not [D]insensitive
I know progress has no patience
[A]But[Asus4] something's got to give

[Verse 3]
[F]
I know you're dif[Eb]ferent
You know I'm the same
[F]We're both too bus[Eb]y
To be taking the [Bb]blame
I'd like [C]some changes

[Verse 4]
But you don't have [Dm]the time
We can't go [C]on thinking
It's a victim[F]less crime

[Verse 5]
No one is blame[Eb]less
[F]But we're all wit[Eb]hout sha[Bb]me
We fight [C]the fire
[Dm]While we're feeding the [C]flames

[Verse 6]
[D]
Folks have got to make [G]choices[D]
And choices got to have [G]voices
Folks are basically decent
Conventional wisdom would [D]say

[Verse 7]
Well, we [D]read about
The exceptions
[A]In the papers every day
[Asus4]

[Verse 8]
[G]
It ought to be second [C]nature[G]
At least, that's what I feel
"Now I lay me down in Dreamland"
I know perfect's not for real
[D]I thought we might get c[G]loser[D]
[A]But I'm ready to make a
deal
[Asus4][A]

[Verse 9]
[F]
Today is dif[Eb]ferent
And tomorrow [F]the same
It's hard to [Eb]take the world
The way that it [Bb]came

[Verse 10]
Too many rap[C]ids
Keep us sweeping [Dm]along
Too many [C]captains
Keep on steering us [F]wrong

[Verse 11]
It's hard to [Eb]take the [F]heat
It's hard to lay [Eb]blame[Bb]
To fight [C]the fire
[Dm]While we're feeding the [C]flames
