[Intro]
G Em D C x2
[Verse 1]
G D
Well we're a long way from the Stonewall Inn
Em C
I'm standing on this platform, no one's stopping me to sing
G D Em
But there's a multitude of sins that can hide behind your hashtag
C
Tell me again how love wins
G D
Well there's nothing new about this rage
Em C
It's a war that's always waged
G D
Like how no one bats an eye that when fifty of us die
Em C
And it doesn't even make the Daily Mail front page
[Chorus]
D Em G C
Well sometimes, it's like an uphill climb
D Em G
Yeah sometimes, it's like an uphill climb
C
But I'm right by your side
G C
And that's what we call pride
G D Em C x2
[Verse 2]
G D
And I know you don't want to face the fact
Em C
That each and every day we're still being attacked
G D
And sometimes it's by guns, and sometimes it's by words
Em C
And sometimes it's by the North Carolina Bathroom Act
G D
And we're the same as everyone
Em C
We're all under the same sun
G D
But if you're trying to suggest this is just about the West
Em C
We've spent our whole lives looking down the barrel of that gun
[Chorus]
D Em G C
Well sometimes, it's like an uphill climb
D Em G
Yeah sometimes, it's like an uphill climb
C
But I'm right by your side
G C
And that's what we call pride
G D Em C
[Bridge]
Em
And the love we have each other
C
Will defeat the hate we suffer
G C
You're my sisters, brothers, and all that's in between
Em
And if everything that I'm made of
C
Was fashioned by your God above
Em C
It was Him that gave this kind of love to me
[Chorus]
D Em G C
Well sometimes, it's like an uphill climb
D Em G
Yeah sometimes, it's like an uphill climb C
D Em G
Oh sometimes, it's like and upphill climb
C
But I'm right by your side
G C
Yeah I'm right by your side
G C
And that's what we call pride
G C
And that's why we need pride
