Key: B
Introduction:
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
Bb F
Preachers on the podium speakin' of saints
C Dm
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin' for change
C Bb F
Old ladies laughin' from the fire escape
C
Cursin' my name
Repeat these chords again through each verse
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
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
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
The wind blows wild and I may move
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
There ain't no reason things are this way
