Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
BbF There ain't no reason things are this way CDm It's how they' always been and they intend to stay CBbF I can't explain why we live this way C We do it every day
BbF Preachers on the podium speakin' of saints CDm Prophets on the sidewalk beggin' for change CBbF Old ladies laughin' from the fire escape C Cursin' my name
Repeat these chords again through each verse
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same A window and a pigeon with a broken wing You can spend your whole life workin' for something Just to have it taken away
People walk around pushin' back their debts Wearin' paychecks like necklaces and bracelets Talkin' 'bout nothin' not thinkin' 'bout death Every little heartbeat every little breath
People walk a tightrope on a razor's edge Carryin' their hurt and hatred and weapons It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen Or a thought or a word or a sentence
There ain't no reason things are this way It's how they' always been and they intend to stay I don't know why I say the things I say But I say them anyway DmBbC But love will come set me free DmBbC Love will come set me free I do believe DmBbC Love will come set me free I know it will DmBbC Love will come set me free yes
