You (feat. Travis Barker)

[Intro]
         Am
Fighting, living, dying
              Am
For what? For freedom
That's what which men have fought 
      Am
since time began

To be free


[First Part]
Am
They've been making blanked 
statements, scaring everyone
Am
They've been making you feel like 
you never did belong
      F
Yeah, he said, and she said, yeah, 
they say a lot
F
So many things, they just think you 
forgot
Am
Who you are, and what you do, and 
where you're coming from
Am
I just thought I could remind you 
with a simple song
F
Look at body language, can start to 
rebuff
   F
To where we're using weapons, 
hatred, not love
    G
Not you


[Chorus]
               F                   
You are in the wilderness, looking 
         Dm
for your own purpose
                 Am
And you became a butterfly, a 
butterfly
  G
I knew you always would
                   F
They were throwing sticks and stones
                Dm
Words can never break your bones
                    Am
You can spread your wings and fly, 
wings and fly
  G
I knew you always would
  F               Dm
I knew you always would
  F                 Dm
I knew there always was nothing 
wrong with being
Am
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, 
you


Continues after the ad
[Second Part]
Am
All you ever see on CNN are enemies
Am
Telling you to lose your 
individuality
      F
Look, do this and do that, 'till 
you've lost your way
      F
'Till you need to fight or a means 
of escape
Am
They want you to stare into your 
screen and see yourself
     Am
Blow smoke into your mirror till you
 imagine your own world
   F
So don't let them catch you with 
lies and deceit
     F                           
They can't take your soul or your 
                  G
desire for freedom

[Chorus]
               F                   
You are in the wilderness, looking 
         Dm
for your own purpose
                 Am
And you became a butterfly, a 
butterfly
  G
I knew you always would
                   F
They were throwing sticks and stones
                Dm
Words can never break your bones
                    Am
You can spread your wings and fly, 
wings and fly
  G
I knew you always would
  F               Dm
I knew you always would
  F                 Dm
I knew there always was nothing 
wrong with being yeah, yeah

[Bridge]

         Am
You said I wanna be
             F
I'm gonna be everything they said I 
couldn't be
Am                                
Everything that I said I would be 
       Am
when I picked up a pen and I started
 to speak
F
I hear the beat

My melody
F
I just pour all my heart into these 
sheets
F
I cannot just be a star in the 
streets
       F
Man, I knew what was different, I 
had that belief
F
Nowhere to live, nothing to eat
F
You were so hungry that you couldn't
 sleep
Dm
You couldn't breathe

I couldn't be
Dm
All of this shit was happ'nin' to me
F
I would do drugs, I was a thief
F
Still on the run from the karma 
police
Am                                
You were the mission that was 
               Am
given to me by the powers to be
               F                   
You are in the wilderness, looking 
         Dm
for your own purpose
                 Am
And you became a butterfly, a 
butterfly
  G
I knew you always would

[Chorus]
               F                   
You are in the wilderness, looking 
         Dm
for your own purpose
                 Am
And you became a butterfly, a 
butterfly
  G
I knew you always would
                   F
They were throwing sticks and stones
                Dm
Words can never break your bones
                    Am
You can spread your wings and fly, 
wings and fly
  G
I knew you always would
  F               Dm
I knew you always would
  F               Dm
I knew you always would
  F                 Dm
I knew there always was nothing 
wrong with being
Am
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, 
you
