Sounds if you do the whole song in the picking from the beginning, but chords sound good aswell) [Verse 1]

There ain't no r^Bbeason things are this w^Fay It's how they' always ^Cbeen and they intend to ^Dmstay I c^Can't ^Bbexplain why we live this ^Fway We do it every ^Cday

[Verse 2]

Preachers on the ^Bbpodium speakin' of ^Fsaints Prophets on the ^Csidewalk beggin' for ^Dmchange Old ^Cladies ^Bblaughin' from the fire ^Fescape Cursin' my ^Cname

(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]

But love will come set me ^Dmfree ^Bb ^C Love will come set me f^Dmree, ^BbI do ^Cbelieve Love will come set me f^Dmree, ^BbI know it ^Cwill Love will come set me f^Dmree, ^Bbyes ^C

[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]
