<< Back to Brett Dennen Song List
Version 2
[Verse 1]
Bb F
There ain't no reason things are this way
C Dm
It's how they' always been and they intend to stay
C Bb F
I can't explain why we live this way
C
We do it every day
[Verse 2]
Bb F
Preachers on the podium speakin' of saints
C Dm
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin' for change
C Bb F
Old ladies laughin' from the fire escape
C
Cursin' my name
[Verse 3]
Bb F
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
C Dm
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
C Bb F
You can spend your whole life workin' for something
C
Just to have it taken away
[Verse 4]
Bb F
People walk around pushin' back their debts
C Dm
Wearin' paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
C Bb F
Talkin' 'bout nothin', not thinkin' 'bout death
C
Every little heartbeat, every little breath
[Verse 5]
Bb F
People walk a tightrope on a razor's edge
C Dm
Carryin' their hurt and hatred and weapons
C Bb F
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
C
Or a thought or a word or a sentence
[Verse 1]
Bb F
There ain't no reason things are this way
C Dm
It's how they' always been and they intend to stay
C Bb F
I don't know why I say the things I say,
C
But I say them anyway.
[Chorus]
Dm Bb C
But love will come set me free
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, yes
[Verse 6]
Bb F
Prison walls still standin' tall
C Dm
Some things never change at all
C Bb F
Keep on buildin' prisons, gonna fill them all
C
Keep on buildin' bombs, gonna drop them all
[Verse 7]
Bb F
Workin' your fingers bare to the bones
C Dm
Breakin' your back, make you sell your soul
C Bb F
Like a lung that's filled with coal
C
Suffocatin' slow
[Verse 8]
Bb F
The wind blows wild and I may move
C Dm
But politicians lie and I am not fooled
C Bb F
You don't need no reason or a three-piece suit
C
To argue the truth
[Verse 9]
Bb F
The air on my skin and world under my toes
C Dm
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
C Bb F
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
C
Love I try to follow
[Chorus]
Dm Bb C
But love will come set me free
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, yes
[Verse 1]
Bb F
There ain't no reason things are this way
C Dm
It's how they' always been and they intend to stay
C Bb F
I can't explain why we live this way
C
We do it every day
