A                                                
Please, give me a redemption song
   A7M
I need one real bad
   A7
No one seems to write them now
    F#7 
That John and Bob are dead
 Bm          E
All I know is
                D
We need one right now

  A
If life's another game of chess
  A7M
We lost a couple pieces
  A7
The ones who had a dream for us
  F#7
The legends who would lead us
 Bm          E
All I know is
                   D
We need them right now

    A                    
The darkness makes it hard to see the light
        F#m      
But the time is always right to do what's right
       Bm
If you only knew
                         E
I'm just as scared as you

You're not the only one

 A
Is it ignorant to say that war is
  A7M
Just no longer needed?
 A7
And childish to think that love
    F#7
Gives life a higher meaning?
  Bm         E
All I know is
              D
We need love right now

 A 
The people we have given trust
  A7M
End up corrupt and rotten
 A7
They start with great ideals
   F#7
But on the way that's all forgotten
 Bm          E
All I know is
                   D
We need hope right now

    A                    
The darkness makes it hard to see the light
        F#m      
But the time is always right to do what's right
       Bm
If you only knew
       E
I'm just as scared as you

You're not the only one

                             A
You're not the only one who's had enough
                            F#m
Give me your hand, so we can stand up
                             D                      E
You're not the only one done waiting for changes to come

You're not the only one done waiting

     A
The darkness makes it hard to see the light

(Give me your hand, so we can stand up)
       F#m
But the time is always right to do what's right

(You're not the only one done waiting)
       Bm
If you only knew (for changes)
                      E
I'm just as scared as you (to come)

You're not the only one

        A                                                
Please, give me a redemption song
   A7M
I need one real bad
   A7
No one seems to write them now
    F#7 
That John and Bob are dead
 Bm          E
All I know is
                D  Dm
We need one right now
