Guitar 1: Acoustic

- Chords:

+-- Intro (0:00)

+-- Verse 1 (0:13)

Let's stop this talk of privelege 'cause the

songs that we sing are as much of a product of our privelege as

the clothes on my back, or the

phone call I made to my mom last night

And let's stop this talk of action 'cause

action comes easy it's the moments just before that are hard

when I die and my voice and my face on the

same page as my heart

 as my heart

+-- Verse 2 (0:40)

 And let's stop this talk of them because

the things we find deplorable in politicians, CEOs, and cops

are the same things that will tear ourselves apart

And let's stop this talk of words because

words like dishonesty, selfishness, and laziness, and greed

aren't as distant to us as we'd

like to believe

 to believe

+-- Chorus 1 (1:05)

 So please, the next time you're

smashing the state don't go breaking my heart but I

know that when we pick up the pieces the

only thing left will be the same empty rubble that's

made up every revolution that I've ever known to make me

 believe and lose faith in humanity in the

same empty breath of hot air

+-- Bridge (1:31)

And they say

 that the beauty's in the streets

But when I look around

 it seems more like defeat

And I'm afraid that this

fight that we're all caught up in

 will make us the same as that

 which we oppose

+-- Chorus 2 (1:55)

 So please, the next time you're

smashing the state don't go breaking my heart but I

know that we can pick up the pieces

 and build something new, something different

that's not like every revolution that I've ever known that can make me

 believe and have faith in humanity

 and we'll all breathe a breath of fresh air
