intro C D G
                            C
i could tell you a story of shame 
        D                 G
i could talk for hours on how we became
                             C
a flower that bloomed in one day
    D                  G
the next day our glory faded away
                  C
devided by hostilities
D                 G
hung up on issues we disagree
                        C
a body thats been torn apart
D                         G
we're still a body with a healthy heart
                  Em              C
        people like me persons like you
                 D             G              B
        we want to be, closer to GOD, closer to free
      C       D
        all you people like me
G                          C
what do you think when you see?
   D              G
continuous losers people like me
                 C        D                      G
i hope you never believe, just for a moment your better than me
                             C
the truth is that we are the same 
D                       G
all diffrent people but only one name
                       C
i hope that you will agree 
D                   G
that all of you are people like me

{Chorus}
G      D          Em      C
i cant stand by myself anymore 
G    D              Em       C
i forgot what we're fighting for
Em          C            Em      C  
please come take my hand we will make our stand
Em       C                 D
feels so good to be, be so free
