Off My Knees

Bm G Bm G C G

[Verse 1]
Bm
I can see it in their eyes
Bm
They wanna take me to one side
G
To fight me down to my knees
G
Until I'm begging for some mercy, please
Bm
They seem so much like friends, so
Bm
Why must they always pretend to be
G                     C
Something they're not
G
Something they're not

[Instrumental]
Bm G Bm G C G

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
And these opinions of these hip hop stars
Bm
Talkin' 'bout their money and all their women and their cars
G
Yeah but I won't stand for that fickle life no more
              A
I can't stand it

[Chorus]
     G           Em      Bm
Oh, I'm getting off my knees
           G             Em            Bm
Oh, our ignorance is spreading this disease
     C           G        D
Oh, I'm getting off my knees

[Verse 2]
Bm
And I can see you in their souls
Bm
'Cause they probably like to be consoled
G
By someone who didn't care
G
Someone who they could bear to
Bm
Tell all, what they'd done
Bm
Who they've seen and what they've shown
G
But I can't stand that fickle life no more
               A
I can't stand it

[Chorus]
     G           Em      Bm
Oh, I'm getting off my knees
           G             Em            Bm
Oh, our ignorance is spreading this disease
     C           G        D
Oh, I'm getting off my knees
    G           Em      Bm
So I'm getting off my knees
           G             Em            Bm
And our ignorance is spreading this disease
    C           G        D
So I'm getting off my knees
