[Verse 1]
Em Dsus2
What am I supposed to do
C
With the weight of the world on my fingertips
Em Dsus2
I could try to do something right
C Cmaj7
And miss the mark entirely
Em
Our neighbors are sick
Dsus2 C
Instead of care about it
You'd rather recite fake statistics
Em Dsus2 C Cmaj7
You're justifying the deaths of the innocent
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Dsus2 C
I've been partial to distraction
Em Dsus2 C Cmaj7
And I can't miss my chance to make a difference
[Chorus]
G B
How can I say I'm satisfied
C A G
For the ones whose blood still cries out
B C
How can we say we love peace
A
And act like these outcries arе a new thing
A
[Verse 2]
Em Dsus2
When I was a child
C
I thought like a child
Em
I'm dumbfoundеd by the things that are now
Dsus2 C Cmaj7
Coming out of your mouth
Em
You found a sense of belonging
Dsus2
In exclusionist prodding
C
And refuse to admit
That your allegiance is split
Between doctrine
Em Dsus2
And a mob mentality
C Cmaj7
Do you consider that loving
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Dsus2 C
I've been partial to distraction
Em Dsus2 C Cmaj7
And I can't miss my chance to make a difference
[Chorus]
G B
How can I say I'm satisfied
C A G
For the ones whose blood still cries out
B C
How can we say we love peace
A
And act like these outcries arе a new thing
[Bridge]
A C A
It's easy to accept things as they are
C Em
When the alternative doesn't affect you at all
A C
Forgive my resistance to listen to ignorance
A C A
It's easy to accept things as they are
C Em
When the alternative doesn't affect you at all
A C
Forgive my resistance to listen to ignorance
[Chorus]
G B
How can I say I'm satisfied
C A G
For the ones whose blood still cries out
B C
How can we say we love peace
A
And act like these outcries arе a new thing
[Outro]
Em Dsus2 C
I've been partial to distraction
Em Dsus2 C Cmaj7
And I can't miss my chance to make a difference
