C                           E
I took the needle out of my arm about
F          C
A year ago today,
C                                  E
And every day since then I've been taking
F                    G
The needle out of my brain.
F                              G
So when I'm staring down at my hands I can't explain
     E                            F
Just what it is that I'm thinking of,
                             G                        C
Except thank god that all my veins have to pump is my blood.

C                     E
I've done you so much wrong I can't believe
F               C
You would still talk to me.
C                          E
And I say so much bullsh*t I can't believe
F                         G
That anyone around me can breathe.
F                         G
I know that it's a little dramatic,
    E                            F
But the word for not changing is “dead.”
                          G                                   C                       
So I'm getting better, my friends, but please don't hold your breath.

C              E
I met a man in rehab the first time,
F               C
An organizer in prison.
C                            E
He lived in Chicago when the cops shot Fred Hampton,
F                          G
But he was just a kid back then.
F                         G
Justice doesn't flow from police guns,
    E                        F
I'm reminded of that all the time.
                      G                    C
As long as there is a law, peace will be a crime.

C                   E
What the news calls economics,
F               C
I still call it violence.
C                E
If your god is a judge or a jailer,
F               G
I'm still an atheist.
F                              G
But I try to have faith in the things that will happen;
E                       F
I get saved from myself when i do.
                               G                      C
So maybe “god” isn't the right word, but I believe in you.
