Tom: C
C Am
What is your decision, she said
Em F
We're almost there
C Am
It's the same taste of freedom
Em F
That we saw, but never had
G
It's the same as before
G
All the lanes that we draw
[Chorus]
Am
And by the way
Em
We're better than this
F
And all along
C
It's been worth the risk
Am
And some might fall
Em
But these are the times
F
And we came for it
C
Yeah we came for it
Am
And by the way
Em
Im feeling torn
F
We're miles apart
C
And i can't cry anymore
Am
You start a war
Em
Hope you'rе ready to fly
F
Cuz we came for it
C
Yеah we came for it
[Verse 2]
F
And i saw police standing five to one
C
She was, kneeling down, twenty five, on the ground, another
F
Four police pray no time to wait saying
C
Line up your ghosts and get out of the way
F
We survived with this world in a riot
C
We're all criminals sold on the lie
F
That if you don't rock the boat
G
Then you'll be safe, safe
G
But we're not safe
[Chorus]
Am
And by the way
Em
We're better than this
F
And all along
C
It's been worth the risk
Am
And some might fall
Em
But these are the times
F
And we came for it
C
Yeah we came for it
Am
And by the way
Em
Im feeling torn
F
We're miles apart
C
And i can't cry anymore
Am
You start a war
Em
Hope you'rе ready to fly
F
Cuz we came for it
C
Yеah we came for it
[Verse 3]
F
Found her feet turned towards the sun because
C
Of their guns, forty-five, on the run, she was
F
Just nineteen with no time to waste and
C
Freedom's a choice but not today
F
You've been the law, with it all, we're the riot
C
You're all criminals trading on the lie
F
That if we don't rock the boat
G
Then you'll be safe, safe
G
But we're not safe
[Chorus]
Am
And by the way
Em
We're better than this
F
And all along
C
It's been worth the risk
Am
And some might fall
Em
But these are the times
F
And we came for it
C
Yeah we came for it
Am
And by the way
Em
Im feeling torn
F
We're miles apart
C
And i can't cry anymore
Am
You start a war
Em
Hope you'rе ready to fly
F
Cuz we came for it
C
Yеah we came for it
[Bridge]
Am
Despite the sound of that pop
Em
Beside the sound of that drop
F
And how we feel afraid like a knot
G
Despise the ground that we walk
Am
Cuz If you jog you might be Ahmaud
Em
If you walk you might be our Ahmaud
F
If you talk you might be our Ahmaud
C
Oh god this shit never stops
Am C G F
Waste it on these broken rules it's funny how
Am C
Desperation goes, round and around
G F
But they don't wanna let go
Am
And some might say
Em
We're better than this
F
And all along
C
It's been worth the risk
Am
And some might fall
Em
But these are the times
F C
And we came for it
Am
And by the way
Em
Im feeling torn
F
We're miles apart
C
And i can't cry anymore
Am
You start a war
Em
Hope you're ready to fly
F
Cuz we came for it
C
Yeah we came for it
