[Verse 1]
Bb F
There ain't no reason things are this way
C Dm
It's how they' always been and they intend to stay
C Bb F
I don't know why I say the things I say,
C
But I say them anyway.
[Chorus]
Dm Bb C
But love will come set me free
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, yes
[Verse 6]
Bb F
Prison walls still standin' tall
C Dm
Some things never change at all
C Bb F
Keep on buildin' prisons, gonna fill them all
C
Keep on buildin' bombs, gonna drop them all
[Verse 7]
Bb F
Workin' your fingers bare to the bones
C Dm
Breakin' your back, make you sell your soul
C Bb F
Like a lung that's filled with coal
C
Suffocatin' slow
[Verse 8]
The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a three-piece suit
To argue the truth
[Verse 9]
The air on my skin and world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love I try to follow
[Chorus]
Dm Bb C
But love will come set me free
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, yes
[Verse 1]
Bb F
There ain't no reason things are this way
C Dm
It's how they' always been and they intend to stay
C Bb F
I can't explain why we live this way
C
We do it every day
