By The Way

C               Am
What is your decision, she said
Em              F
   We're almost there
         C             Am
It's the same taste of freedom
        Em             F
That we saw, but never had
         G
It's the same as before
        G
All the lanes that we draw

[Chorus]
           Am
And by the way
                  Em
We're better than this
          F
And all along
                    C
It's been worth the risk
               Am
And some might fall
                  Em
But these are the times
            F
And we came for it
             C
Yeah we came for it
           Am
And by the way
           Em
Im feeling torn
            F
We're miles apart
            C
And i can't cry anymore
            Am
You start a war
                     Em
Hope you'rе ready to fly
            F
Cuz we came for it
             C
Yеah we came for it



[Verse 2]
      F
And i saw police standing five to 
one
        C
She was, kneeling down, twenty five,
 on the ground, another
F
 Four police pray no time to wait 
saying
C
Line up your ghosts and get out of 
the way
F
 We survived with this world in a 
riot
      C
We're all criminals sold on the lie
F
 That if you don't rock the boat
               G
Then you'll be safe, safe
              G
But we're not safe

[Chorus]
           Am
And by the way

                  Em
We're better than this
          F
And all along
                    C
It's been worth the risk
               Am
And some might fall
                  Em
But these are the times
            F
And we came for it
             C
Yeah we came for it
           Am
And by the way
           Em
Im feeling torn
            F
We're miles apart
            C
And i can't cry anymore
            Am
You start a war
                     Em
Hope you'rе ready to fly
            F
Cuz we came for it
             C
Yеah we came for it

[Verse 3]
F
Found her feet turned towards the 
sun because
C
 Of their guns, forty-five, on the 
run, she was
F
 Just nineteen with no time to waste
 and
C
 Freedom's a choice but not today
F
 You've been the law, with it all, 
we're the riot
       C
You're all criminals trading on the 
lie
           F
That if we don't rock the boat
               G
Then you'll be safe, safe
              G
But we're not safe

[Chorus]
           Am
And by the way
                  Em
We're better than this
          F
And all along
                    C
It's been worth the risk
               Am
And some might fall
                  Em
But these are the times
            F
And we came for it
             C
Yeah we came for it
           Am
And by the way
           Em
Im feeling torn
            F
We're miles apart
            C
And i can't cry anymore
            Am
You start a war
                     Em
Hope you'rе ready to fly
            F
Cuz we came for it
             C
Yеah we came for it


[Bridge]
   Am
Despite the sound of that pop
   Em
Beside the sound of that drop
           F
And how we feel afraid like a knot
   G
Despise the ground that we walk
           Am
Cuz If you jog you might be Ahmaud
       Em
If you walk you might be our Ahmaud
       F
If you talk you might be our Ahmaud
   C
Oh god this shit never stops

Am                C              
Waste it on these broken rules 
   G         F
it's funny how
            Am                C
Desperation goes, round and around
                         G   F
But they don't wanna let go

               Am
And some might say
                  Em
We're better than this
          F
And all along
                    C
It's been worth the risk
               Am
And some might fall
                  Em
But these are the times
            F      C
And we came for it
           Am
And by the way
           Em
Im feeling torn
            F
We're miles apart
                   C
And i can't cry anymore
            Am
You start a war
                     Em
Hope you're ready to fly
            F
Cuz we came for it
             C
Yeah we came for it
