 F#m                           F#m/E           F#m6  DM7
 Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw

               F#m/E        F#m6                           DM7
 We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms
                        F#m
 For the sword and the stone
            F#m/E
 Bad to the bone
               F#m6
 Battle is not over
       DM7
 Even when it's won
  Bm                         F#m
 And when a child is born into this world
  G#
 It has no concept
       G#
Of the tone the skin is living in

 It's not a second

 Just as long as I stay
          B
 I'll be waiting
             C#m
 It's not a second

 Verse 2:
 F#m        F#m/E                      F#m6    DM7
  J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,
 F#m                F#m/E           F#m6            DM7
 J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils espèrent
 F#m                   F#m/E                      F#m6
 Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils désespèrent
                    DM7
 Je veux les portes grandement ouvertes,
              F#m                           F#m/E                      F#m6    DM7
 Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie
                             F#m6                  DM7
 Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas
 C#m
 Changer

   Bm                         F#m
  And when a child is born into this world
  G#
 It has no concept
       C#m
 Of the tone the skin is living in
              A           C#m
 And there's a million voices
              A           G#

 It's not a second
            B
 7 seconds away
                    A
 Just as long as I stay
