Intro
C – E – F – C – C – E – F – G –
Verse 1
C – E – F – C – C – E – F – G –
I took the needle out of my arm about a year ago today
And every day since then I've been taking the needle out of my brain

Chorus 1
F – G – E – F – G – C –
So when I'm staring down at my hands I can't explain
Just what it is that I'm thinking of
Except thank God that all my veins have to pump is my blood

Break 1
C – E – F – C – C – E – F – G –
Verse 2
C – E – F – C – C – E – F – G –
I've done you so much wrong I can't believe you would still talk to me
And I say so much bullshit I can't believe that anyone around me can breathe

Chorus 2
F – G – E – F – G – C –
I know that it's a little dramatic but the word for not changing is "death"
So I'm getting better, my friends, but please don't hold your breath

Break 2
C – E – F – C – C – E – F – G –
Verse 3
C – E – F – C – C – E – F – G –
I met a man in rehab the first time, an organizer in prison
He lived in Chicago when the cops shot Fred Hampton but he was just a kid back then

Chorus 3
F – G – E – F – G – C –
Justice doesn't flow from police guns, I'm reminded of that all the time
As long as there is a law, peace will be a crime

Break 3
C – E – F – C – C – E – F – G –
Verse 4
C – E – F – C – C – E – F – G –
What the news calls economics, I still call it violence
If your God is a judge or a jailer, I'm still an atheist

Chorus 4
F – G – E – F – G – C –
But I try to have faith in the things that will happen
I get saved from myself when I do
So maybe "God" isn't the right word, but I believe in you

Ending
C – E – F – C – C – E – F – G –
I practiced this song
I practiced this song by heart ♥︎
