C

Chorus:
  C                    G   Am
Hoping for a life more sweeter
  C                        G   Am
Instead I'm just a story repeating
F                   G           Am

F                      G           Am
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes

I thought we moved on from the darker days

Did the words of the King disappear in the air
        F
Like a butterfly?
C                G         Am
Somebody should hand you a felony
            Dm   G    C
'Cause you stole from me

My chance to be

Can't feel peace with those judging eyes


Verse 2:
     C                  F    G    Dm
The tears of my Mother rain, rain over me

My sisters and my brothers sing, sing over me
