[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
