Capo: 2

If you want to play this solo on an acoustic, it's always better to use open chords as as possible. This song is much easier with a capo on 2 CAPO 2! -- Intro (0:00) B G D A B G D A +-- Verse 1 (0:13)

^BLet's stop this ^Gtalk of privilege 'cause the ^Dsongs that we sing are as much of a ^Aproduct of our privilege as ^Bthe clothes on my ^Gback, or the ^Dphone call I made to my ^Amom last night ^BAnd let's stop this ^Gtalk of action 'cause ^Daction comes easy it's the ^Amoments just before that are hard ^Bwhen I gotta get my ^Gvoice and my fist on the ^Dsame page as my ^Aheart as m^Gy heart

^BAnd let's stop this ^Gtalk of them because ^Dthe things we find deplorable in ^Apoliticians, CEOs, and cops ^Bare the same things that will ^Gtear ourselves apart ^D ^A ^BAnd let's stop this ^Gtalk of words because ^Dwords like dishonesty, ^Aselfishness, and laziness, and g^Breed aren't as ^Gdistant to us as we'd ^Dlike to ^Abelieve to be^Glieve

G G G G +-- Chorus 1 (1:05) D

So ^Aplease, the next time you're ^Gsmashing the state don't go ^Abreaking my heart but I ^Dknow that when we p^Aick up the pieces the ^Gonly thing left will be the ^Asame empty rubble that's ^Dmade up ^Aevery revol^Gution that I've ever known^A to make me be^Dlieve and lose faith in^A humanity in the ^Gsame empty breath of ^Ahot air

+-- Bridge (1:31)

^EAnd they ^Gsay that the ^Bbeauty's ^Gin the ^Astreets^F# ^EBut when I l^Gook around it ^Bseems ^Gmore like ^Adefeat ^F# ^EAnd I'm a^Gfraid that this ^Dfight that we're all ^Acaught up in will ^Emake us the same as ^Gthat which we op^Apose

A G F# E +-- Chorus 2 (1:55) D

So ^Aplease, the next time you're ^Gsmashing the state don't go ^Abreaking my heart but I ^Dknow that we can ^Apick up the pieces and ^Gbuild something new, something ^Adifferent ^Dthat's not like ^Aevery revol^Gution that I've ever ^Aknown that can make me be^Dlieve and have faith in hu^Amanity and we'll ^Gall breathe a breath of ^Afresh air
