I Don't Want Solidarity If It Means Holding Hands With You Chords

(ver. 2)
Defiance Ohio
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!

+-- Verse 1 (0:13)

B               G
Let's stop this talk of privilege 'cause the

D                                   A
songs that we sing are as much of a product of our privilege as

B                 G
the clothes on my back, or the

D                       A
phone call I made to my mom last night

B                   G
And let's stop this talk of action 'cause

D                          A
action comes easy it's the moments just before that are hard

B                   G
when I gotta get my voice and my fist on the

D               A
same page as my heart

    G
as my heart

+-- Verse 2 (0:40)

B                   G
And let's stop this talk of them because

D                                A
the things we find deplorable in politicians, CEOs, and cops

B                             G                    D A
are the same things that will tear ourselves apart

B                   G
And let's stop this talk of words because

D                      A                               B
words like dishonesty, selfishness, and laziness, and greed

          G
aren't as distant to us as we'd

D       A
like to believe

     G
to believe


 G G G G


+-- Chorus 1 (1:05)


 D


   A
So please, the next time you're

G                           A
smashing the state don't go breaking my heart but I

D                  A
know that when we pick up the pieces the

G                           A
only thing left will be the same empty rubble that's

D       A          G                         A
made up every revolution that I've ever known to make me

  D                      A
believe and lose faith in humanity in the

G                    A
same empty breath of hot air


+-- Bridge (1:31)


E        G
And they say

         B        G      A      F#
that the beauty's in the streets

E           G
But when I look around

   B     G         A      F#
it seems more like defeat

E        G
And I'm afraid that this

D                    A
fight that we're all caught up in

     E                   G
will make us the same as that

           A
which we oppose


 A   G   F#  E


+-- Chorus 2 (1:55)


 D

   A
So please, the next time you're

G                           A
smashing the state don't go breaking my heart but I

D                A
know that we can pick up the pieces

    G                              A
and build something new, something different

D               A          G                    A
that's not like every revolution that I've ever known that can make me

  D                         A
believe and have faith in humanity

          G                       A
and we'll all breathe a breath of fresh air
