Eb7

GmFFEb7

If I could spGmend the rest of my life with my pFeople

I would do it Fover and over aEb7gain

Leave it up tGmo them to fill up their stFeeple

Leave it up to Fus to fill up on our fEb7riends

If I could spGmend the rest of my life with my pFeople

I live in my Gmmind that I know there's no Fequal

When I'm falling oFut, yo they pull me backEb7 in

GmIt was lFong ago

And we were yEb7ounger so

GmAnd our lives Fwe part wrote

Feel it, Eb7feeling

They say Gmwe've had fun but Flet this go

Music don't go dEb7eep but no

GmWe think we could hFelp this world if only weEb7 try

But we grow Gmup

At least that's wFhat they say

We can't do this wEb7hen we pray

GmBut I tell myself Fevery day that none of that appEb7lies

If I could sGmpend the rest of my life with my Fpeople

Shadow

Key: CMedium

CFAmG

I'm not a sChadow F

I'm nAmot the ground beneath yourG feet

I'm not a sChadow F

When Amyou look down, you wont seGe me

Ill stanCd up and ill stand tFall

I don'Amt follow anyonGe

I'm not Ca shadowF, cause I'm Amnot a shadoGw

CHereF's tAmo youG don't settle, and never separate

And never be quiet cause the words you say

You never go back on and never turn around

Never judge another cause as stupid it sounds

CCausFe whAmen yoGu see others knowin' they're all brothers

Knowin' they're all sisters, seein' the big picture

If they're not with you, then they're against

And were here now when they are way back when

CSo wFhy tAmry toG please everyone?

When it seems that all the people really want

Is to show love, and out and get love back

Is to show some faith and get respect

CJustF looAmk at Gthe world then, you look at the problems

And look at the hatred, and we still cant solve it

So look inside and you'll find step one

Forget a diamond I'm shinin' like the sun

I'm not a sChadow F

I'm nAmot the ground beneath yourG feet

I'm not a sChadow F

When Amyou look down, you wont seGe me

Ill stanCd up and ill stand tFall

I don'Amt follow anyonGe

I'm not Ca shadowF, cause I'm Amnot a shadoGw

CHereF's tAmo youG on your own, the innocent criminal

You never fit the mold, you never go sit down

You never go get approval no matter how you prove

That love is the motive in everything you do

And revolution is you and you're against the machine

You know who you are and you know what I mean

And when this record stops you would never slow down

When the video is over you want your turn now so

CYou FmakeAm the Gtruth and move straight ahead

While the followers behind you get left for dead

For the imminent brainwash follow the dumb rules

Created by individuals who unlike you

CDon'Ft caAmre foGr the world or, care for the people

They love it their way, and they love unequal

And they love when they feel above someone

I don't follow the leader when they're all wrong

I'm not a shadow C F

I'm nAmot the ground beneath yourG feet

I'm not a sChadow F

When Amyou look down, you wont seGe me

Ill stanCd up and ill stand tFall

I don'Amt follow anyonGe

I'm not Ca shadowF, cause I'm Amnot a shadoGw

Born In Babylon

Key: GmHard

GmI came from nothing but not nFothing like "nothing"

Gm"Nothing", like "nobody thougFht I was something"...

Gm"Nothing", like "called everyF name in the book",

But for eEbvery second guess

I never gFave a second look

Look,Gm I fell myself

"Don't let it Fget to me.

cuz iGmf the best the got is not impreFssing me,

then Gmthere's no reason they should get the bFest of me,

While they were aEbiming at my words

They missed the rFest of me

EbHow can I stFop all these Gmcritics from their talking

Ebthe more I dFo, the moGmre they say

EbBut there's no wFay I'm stopping

Gmso they just keep on talking

EbWho do you Fthink I think I aGmm?

GmI got the felling that there'Fs more like me

GmBorn in Babylon but you just Fgot to be free

GmShackles on your feet that you and mFe can't see,

but you can feEbel them and they're heavy,

so you nFeed that key

Gmand now you're looking at youFr hand, saying

"Man, if I diGmtch the system, these could be mFine"

but tGmhen you hear a voice come up Ffrom behind,

"Don't even thEbink about stepping out of lFine..."

GmMy friends are deep and they'Fre all I got,

Gmand they stand up behind me iFf you like it or not

Gmand I'm telling you that the FFire's Hot,

did you sEbee that smoke

and did you heFar that shot...

GmCuz it's a war and in the midFdle I am

GmSo judge now with your pen inF hand

GmCuz I'm too busy to judge anoFther man,

I'm trying to wEbrite the blueprint

for all the woFrld to understand

this part of the song is sang whit the Chorus.

The want stop talk, and I regret me giving you any little voice at all

But saving this world just come with a cost...

"... maybe they were right from the start..."

Maybe I should be myself, cuz I'm just giving

these critics help..."

And it makes me twist my stomach in half,

that my pen and his pen are put into the same breath.

If I never tried to do this at all,

Then I think he'd be out of a jov.

"... and maybe I just should've stayed in bed,

stay out of the booth and put all these guitars in the closet..."

"... maybe I should go back to school,

buy any more education just make me feel like a

fool..."

so I guess I Goot let critics talk, cuz I WONT

STOP!.

Everything Changes

Key: BMedium

Abm

Riff 1 2x:

Para a riff 2 é necessário prestar bastante atenção a música:

Riff 2 1x:

Riff 2b logo em seguida da Riff 2 na introdução

Riff 2b

( E Gb Abm )

What do we really need

In this life

I look to myself sometimes

I guess not right

People out there with no

Food at night

And we say we care, but we don't

So we all lie

What if there's more to this

And one day,

We become what we do,

Not what we say

And we end up in all the shit

That they're in

And roles are reversed,

And it was different

And we were the ones

With nothing to eat

And we were the ones

With blood in our streets

We were the ones

With all the offspring

And they were the ones

Just watching on TV

We were the ones

Broke down and torn

With our life on our back

And our wife in our arms

And they were the ones

Like oh that's so sad

We were the ones

Like OH...

Nothing ever changes

The only thing I know

Nothing ever changes

Looking down this road

Nothing ever changes

RIF[F 2]

( E Gb Abm )

Look at your dreams

And your intention

How selfish it is for you

Yo mention

Turning your thousands

Into millions

Marry a model

Then you'll have some children

Well they've got their

Dreams too, I imagine

Like what if it wont

come back to kill them

Sleeping at night

Without a murder

In some little town

you've never heard of

Now look at your nightmare

And all of your worst fears

Your car and your house and

Your girl and it stops there

All these things you

Can't imagine losing

Like oh no what if

That happens to me

Well what you've got

They'll never have

To be like you,

To have your chance

To be like you

Before they're gone

( E Gb Abm )

Nothing ever changes

At least that's how we act

Like nothing ever changes

Like god has got our backs

And nothing ever changes

I'm looking down this road

And all I see is pain, yes

Maybe we need more

Shoes on our feet

Maybe we need more

Cash and jewelry

Maybe we need more

Cars and TV's

Maybe we don't know

What we need

Maybe we need

To want to fix this

Maybe stop talking

Maybe start listening

Maybe we need

To look at this world

Less like a square

And more like a circle

Maybe just maybe

God's not unfair

Maybe were all his kids

And he's up there

Maybe he loves us

For all our races

Maybe he hates us

When were all so racist

Maybe he sees us

Down here so selfish

Takes this whole planet

And just tries to melt it

Maybe the meat

Will inherit the earth

‘Cuz it was written before

So everything changes

Nothing stays the same

And everything changes

And if you feel ashamed

Maybe you should change this

Before it gets too late

Maybe you should change this

We're standing at the gate

Maybe you should change this

Because everything changes

You should change this

Because everything changes

Everything changes
