Sounds if you do the whole song in the picking from the beginning, but chords sound good aswell) [Verse 1] Bb F There ain't no reason things are this way C Dm It's how they' always been and they intend to stay C Bb F I can't explain why we live this way C We do it every day [Verse 2] Bb F Preachers on the podium speakin' of saints C Dm Prophets on the sidewalk beggin' for change C Bb F Old ladies laughin' from the fire escape C Cursin' my name (chords remain the same for all verses) [Verse 3] I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same A window and a pigeon with a broken wing You can spend your whole life workin' for something Just to have it taken away [Verse 4] People walk around pushin' back their debts Wearin' paychecks like necklaces and bracelets Talkin' 'bout nothin', not thinkin' 'bout death Every little heartbeat, every little breath [Verse 5] People walk a tightrope on a razor's edge Carryin' their hurt and hatred and weapons It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen Or a thought or a word or a sentence [Repeat Verse 1] [Chorus] Dm Bb C But love will come set me free Dm Bb C Love will come set me free, I do believe Dm Bb C Love will come set me free, I know it will Dm Bb C Love will come set me free, yes [Verse 6] Prison walls still standin' tall Some things never change at all Keep on buildin' prisons, gonna fill them all Keep on buildin' bombs, gonna drop them all [Verse 7] Workin' your fingers bare to the bones Breakin' your back, make you sell your soul Like a lung that's filled with coal Suffocatin' slow [Verse 8] The wind blows wild and I may move But politicians lie and I am not fooled You don't need no reason or a three-piece suit To argue the truth [Verse 9] The air on my skin and world under my toes Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes Chaos and commotion wherever I go Love I try to follow [repeat Chorus] [Repeat Verse 1]
