[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
Somebody's gonna wave a flag
C
Somebody's going to attack
Dm
Someone will tell you to take a side
F
Tell you their version of wrong or right
Am
Somebody's gonna let you in
C
Judged on the color of your skin
Dm
Slam a door in the face of your friend
F
Simply because you don't look like him
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am
And then you gotta find a way that you're walkin'
C
Everybody's walkin'
Dm
You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'
F
Everybody's talkin'
[Chorus 1]
C/G Em7 Am
So I built these words into a song
Bbmaj7/F C/G
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
Em7 Am
And even if some notes are wrong
Bbmaj7/F C
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
Em7
'Cause just one voice is not enough
Am Bbmaj7/F
I need to hear from everyone
C Em7
And even when I'm dead and gone
Am Bbmaj7/F F
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
[Verse 2]
Am
Somebody's gonna build a wall
C
Then smash it with a cannon ball
Dm
Someone who somehow has got a gun
F
Will tell you who you can't and you can love
Am
Some people keeping all the cash
C
They're gonna get away with that
Dm
Just 'cause some people don't think like me
F
Does that really make them the enemy?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am
And then you gotta find a way that you're walkin'
C
Everybody's walkin'
Dm
You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'
F
Everybody's talkin'
[Chorus 2]
C/G Em7 Am
So I built these words into a song
Bbmaj7/F C/G
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
Em7 Am
And even if some notes are wrong
Bbmaj7/F C
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
Em7
'Cause just one voice is not enough
Am Bbmaj7/F
I need to hear from everyone
C Em7
And even when I'm dead and gone
Am Bbmaj7/F
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
[Bridge]
C/G
Make a noise
Em7
I can hear you now
Am
Won't you raise your voice
Bbmaj7/F
Just a little louder
C/G
Make a noise
Em7
I can hear you now
Am
Won't you raise your voice
Bbmaj7/F
Just a little louder
[Chorus 3]
C/G Em7 Am
So I built these words into a song
Bbmaj7/F C/G
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
