Chords
[Intro]
Bb F C Dm C
Bb F
[Verse 1]
C There ain't no reaBbson things are this Fway
It's how they've always Cbeen and they intend to stay Dm
CI can't explainBb why we live this way F
We do it every Cday
Preachers on the Bbpodiums speaking of saints F
Prophets on the Csidewalk begging for changeDm Old C
ladies laughBbing from the fire escape F
Cursing my name C
I got a basket full of leBbmons and they all taste the Fsame
A window and a Cpigeon with a broken Dmwing
CYou could spend your Bbwhole life working for someFthing
Just to have it Ctaken away
People walk aBbround pushing back their Fdebts
Wearing payCchecks like necklaces and Dmbracelets
CTalking about Bbnothing, not thinking 'bout Fdeath
Every little Cheartbeat, every little breath
People walk a Bbtight rope on a razors Fedge
Carrying their Churt and hatred and weaDmpons
CIt could be a Bbbomb, or a bullet or a Fpen
Or thought, or a Cword or a sentence
There ain't no reaBbson things are this Fway
It's how they've always Cbeen and they intend to stay Dm
CI don't know whyBb I say the things I Fsay
But I say them anyCway
[Chorus]
But love will come, set me Dmfree Bb
C Love will come, set me Dmfree, I Bbdo believe C
Love will come, set me Dmfree, I Bbknow it Cwill
Love will come, set me Dmfree, yes Bb
[Verse 2]
C Prison wallsBb still standing Ftall
Some thingsC never change at all Dm
CKeep on building Bbprisons, gonna fill them all F
Keep on building Cbombs, gonna drop them all
Working your Bbfingers bare to the bone F
Breaking your back,C make you sell your soul Dm
CLike a lung,Bb that's filled with coal F
Suffocating Cslow
The wind blows wildBb and I may move F
But politicians Clie and I am not fooled Dm
You Cdon't need no Bbreason or a three piece Fsuit
To argue the truth C
The air on my Bbskin and the world under my Ftoes
Slavery stitCched to the fabric of my Dmclothes
ChaCos and comBbmotion wherever I Fgo
Love I try Cto follow
[Chorus]
Love will come, set me Dmfree Bb
C Love will come, set me Dmfree, I Bbdo believe C
Love will come, set me Dmfree, I Bbknow it will C
Love will come, s et me Dmfree,Bb yes C
[Outro]
There ain't no reaBbson things are this way F
It's how they've always Cbeen and they intend to stay Dm
CI can't explainBb why we live this way F
We do it every Cday
