Pride Chords

(ver. 2)
Kendrick Lamar
[Chorus]
C  Am9       D         Bm7    B7  C 
  Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
   Am9  D                    Bm7  B7
  In another life, I surely was there
C  Am9       D         D#dim     Em7
  Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
   C#dim   F#m7   Bm7(2) B7(2)
  I care, I care
  
[Verse 1]
  C                            Am9
  Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, new worldy possessions
  D                              Bm7                 B7
  Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, which one would you lessen?
     C                  
  The better part, the human heart
      Am9
  You love 'em or dissect 'em
 D                             Bm7              B7
  Happiness or flashiness? How do you serve the question?
       C                                Am9
  See, in the perfect world, I would be perfect, world
          D                               D#dim
  I don't trust people enough beyond they surface, world
          Em7                          C#dim
  I don't love people enough to put my faith in men
           F#m                             Bm7(2)     B7(2)
  I put my faith in these lyrics, hoping I make amend
                 C 
  I understand I ain't perfect
                      Am9
  I probably won't come around
                        D
  This time, I might put you down
                       Bm7          B7               C
  Last time, I ain't give a f**k, I still feel the same now
                     Am9                           D
  My feelings might go numb, you're dealing with cold thumb
                      Bm7          B7             C
  I'm willing to give up a leg and arm and show empathy from
               Am9   
  Pity parties and functions and you and yours
D                               D#dim
  A perfect world, you probably live another 24
Em7                        C#dim
  I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure
F#m7                       Bm7(2)             B7(2)
  I can't fake humble just 'cause your ass is insecure

[Chorus]
C  Am9       D         Bm7    B7  C 
  Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
   Am9  D                    Bm7  B7
  In another life, I surely was there
C  Am9       D         D#dim     Em7
  Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
   C#dim   F#m7   Bm7(2) B7(2)
  I care, I care

[Refrain] 
                   C   Am9   D   
  Maybe I wasn't there
  Bm7     B7       C   Am9   D  
  Maybe I wasn't there
  Bm7     B7       C   Am9   D   
  Maybe I wasn't there
  D#dim            Em7   C#dim   F#m7   Bm7(2)   B7(2)
  Maybe I wasn't there

[Verse 2]
       C                              Am9
  Now, in a perfect world, I probably won't be insensitive
       D                        Bm7           B7
  Cold as December, but never remember what Winter did
   C                                  Am9
  I wouldn't blame you for mistakes I made or the bed I laid
       D                                Bm7             B7
  Seems like I point the finger just to make a point nowadays
  C                           Am9
  Smiles and cold stares, the temperature goes there
   D                           D#dim
  Indigenous disposition, feel like we belong here
    Em7                                C#dim
  I know the walls, they can listen, I wish they could talk back
      F#m7                         Bm7(2)        B7(2)
  The hurt becomes repetition, the love almost lost that
  C                       Am
  Sick venom in men and women overcome with pride
    D                         Bm7               B7
  A perfect world is never perfect, only filled with lies
 C                             Am
  Promises are broken and more resentment come alive
D                      Bm7           B7
  Race barriers make inferior of you and I
       C                               Am9
  See, in a perfect world, I'll choose faith over riches
              D                          D#dim
  I'll choose work over b**ches, I'll make schools out of prison
         Em7                              C#dim
  I'll take all the religions and put 'em all in one service
          F#m7                        Bm7        B7
  Just to tell 'em we ain't sh*t, but He's been perfect, world

[Chorus]
C  Am        D         Bm7    B7  C 
  Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
   Am   D                    Bm7  B7
  In another life, I surely was there
C  Am        D         D#dim     Em7
  Me, I wasn't taught to share, but care
   C#dim   F#m7   Bm7(2) B7(2)
  I care, I care

[Refrain]
                   C   Am9   D   
  Maybe I wasn't there
  Bm7     B7       C   Am9   D  
  Maybe I wasn't there
  Bm7     B7       C   Am9   D   
  Maybe I wasn't there
  D#dim            Em7   C#dim   F#m7   Bm7(2)   B7(2)
  Maybe I wasn't there
