             F                        C
There ain't no reason things are this way.
                      G                             Am
It's how they always been and they intend to stay.
   G          F                  C
I can't explain why we live this way.
G                   Strum and rest
We do it every day.

                 F                  C
Preachers on the podium speaking of saints.
                 G                   Am
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change.
  G        F                      C
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape,
           G
Cursing my name.


                         F                         C
I gotta a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
              G                      Am
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,
G                  F                       C
You can spend your whole life working for something,
                 G
Just to have it taken away.

           F                          C
People walk around pushing back their debts,
               G                  Am
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets,
G                  F                      C
Talking about nothing, not thinking about death,
              G                      Am
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.

G             F                     C
People walk a tightrope on a razors edge.
               G                   Am
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
G             F                       C
It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen,
                   G
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence.


               F                      C
There ain't no reason things are this way.
                       G                       Am
Its how they've always been and they intend to stay.
G            F                      C
I don't know why I say the things I say,
               G
But I say them anyway.

                          Am    F, G
But love will come set me free.
                      Am      F  G
Love will come set me free, I do believe.
                      Am       F      G
Love will come set me free, I know it will.
                      Am      F     G
Love will come set me free, yes.

         F                  C
Prison walls still standing tall.
           G                Am
Some things never change at all.
G                F                         C
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all.
                 G
Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all.

               F              C
The wind blows wild and I may move.
                G                Am
But politicians lie and I am not fooled.
 G                F                      C
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit,
              G
To argue the truth.
 
               F                           C
The air on my skin and the world under my toes
        G                               Am
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
G         F                    C
Chaos and commotion wherever I go,
              G
Love I try to follow.

                          Am    F, G
But love will come set me free.
                      Am      F  G
Love will come set me free, I do believe.
                      Am       F      G
Love will come set me free, I know it will.
                      Am  F     G
Love will come set me freeeee, yes.

               F                      C
There ain't no reason things are this way.
                       G                       Am
Its how they've always been and they intend to stay.
   G      F                      C Strum through to the end
I can't explain why we live this way.

We do it every day.
