C                           E
I took the needle out of my arm 
about
F          C
A year ago today,
C                                  
And every day since then I’ve been 
E
taking
F                    G
The needle out of my brain.
F                              G
So when I’m staring down at my hands
 I can’t explain
     E                            
Just what it is that I’m thinking 
F
of,
                             G     
Except thank god that all my veins 
                   C
have to pump is my blood.

C                     E
I’ve done you so much wrong I can’t 
believe
F               C
You would still talk to me.

C                          E
And I say so much bullshit I can’t 
believe
F                         G
That anyone around me can breathe.
F                         G
I know that it’s a little dramatic,
    E                           
But the word for not changing is 
 F
“dead.”
                          G        
So I’m getting better, my friends, 
                           C
but please don’t hold your breath.

C              E
I met a man in rehab the first time,
F               C
An organizer in prison.
C                            E
He lived in Chicago when the cops 
shot Fred Hampton,
F                          G
But he was just a kid back then.
F                         G
Justice doesn’t flow from police 
guns,
    E                        F
I’m reminded of that all the time.
                      G         
As long as there is a law, peace 
           C
will be a crime.

C                   E
What the news calls economics,
F               C
I still call it violence.
C                E
If your god is a judge or a jailer,
F               G
I’m still an atheist.
F                            
But I try to have faith in the 
  G
things that will happen;
E                       F
I get saved from myself when i do.
                               G   
So maybe “god” isn’t the right 
                   C
word, but I believe in you.
