Intro:
C#m7C#m7 G#m7G#m7  C#m7C#m7
     Oh, oh
G#m7G#m7  C#m7C#m7
Oh, oh, oh
G#m7G#m7 G minorGm F#m7F#m7
Oh, oh, oh


Verse 1:
C#m7C#m7      G#m7G#m7             C#m7C#m7
 Starting a war, screaming "Peace" at the same time
       G#m7G#m7          C#m7C#m7
All the corruption, injustice, the same crimes
      G#m7G#m7       Gm7Gm7  F#m7F#m7
Always a problem if we do or don't fight

And we die, we don't have the same right
C#m7C#m7     G#m7G#m7        C#m7C#m7
 What is a gun to a man that surrenders?
          G#m7G#m7         C#m7C#m7
What's it gonna take for someone to defend her?
       G#m7G#m7        Gm7Gm7  F#m7F#m7
If we all agree that we're equal as people

Then why can't we see what is evil?

Chorus:
C#m7C#m7   G#m7G#m7
 I can't breathe
C#m7C#m7        G#m7G#m7
 You're taking my life from me
C#m7C#m7   G#m7G#m7
 I can't breathe
Gm7Gm7 F#m7F#m7
    Will anyone fight for me?


Post-Chorus:
C#m7C#m7 G#m7G#m7  C#m7C#m7
     Oh, oh
G#m7G#m7  C#m7C#m7
Oh, oh, oh
G#m7G#m7 G minorGm F#m7F#m7
Oh, oh, oh


Verse 2:
C#m7C#m7     G#m7G#m7            C#m7C#m7
 How do we cope when we don't love each other?
        G#m7G#m7       C#m7C#m7
Where is the hope and the empathy? (Yeah)
      G#m7G#m7
How do we judge off the color?
Gm7Gm7   F#m7F#m7
The structure was made to make us the enemy (Yeah)
C#m7C#m7       G#m7G#m7             C#m7C#m7
 Prayin' for change 'cause the pain makes you tender
      G#m7G#m7         C#m7C#m7
All of the names you refuse to remember
        G#m7G#m7
Was somebody's brother, friend
Gm7Gm7 F#m7F#m7
Or a son to a mother that's crying, singing

Chorus:
C#m7C#m7   G#m7G#m7
 I can't breathe
C#m7C#m7        G#m7G#m7
 You're taking my life from me
C#m7C#m7   G#m7G#m7
 I can't breathe
Gm7Gm7 F#m7F#m7
    Will anyone fight for me? (Yeah)


Post-Chorus:
C#m7C#m7 G#m7G#m7  C#m7C#m7
   Oh, oh, oh
G#m7G#m7  C#m7C#m7
Oh, oh, oh
G#m7G#m7 G minorGm F#m7F#m7
Oh, oh, oh

Will anyone fight for me?
C#m7C#m7 G#m7G#m7  C#m7C#m7
   Oh, oh, oh
G#m7G#m7  C#m7C#m7
Oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh)
G#m7G#m7 G minorGm F#m7F#m7
Oh, oh, oh (For me)


Verse 3 tabbed by bizzlex94:
C#m7C#m7
Trying times all the time
G#m7G#m7         C#m7C#m7
 Destruction of minds, bodies, and human rights
G#m7G#m7          C#m7C#m7
 Stripped of bloodlines, whipped and confined
      G#m7G#m7
This is the American pride
Gm7Gm7  F#m7F#m7
 It's justifying a genocide
            C#m7C#m7
Romanticizing the theft and bloodshed
        G#m7G#m7
That made America the land of the free
C#m7C#m7          G#m7G#m7
 To take a black life, land of the free
       C#m7C#m7         G#m7G#m7      Gm7Gm7
To bring a gun to a peaceful fight for civil rights
    F#m7F#m7
You are desensitized to pulling triggers on innocent lives
    C#m7C#m7                G#m7G#m7
Because that's how we got here in the first place
      C#m7C#m7
These wounds sink deeper than the bullet
G#m7G#m7           C#m7C#m7
Your entitled hands could ever reach
   G#m7G#m7         Gm7Gm7   F#m7F#m7
Generations and generations of pain, fear, and anxiety
              C#m7C#m7
Equality is walking without intuition
       G#m7G#m7                 C#m7C#m7
Saying the protector and the killer is wearing the same uniform
G#m7G#m7          C#m7C#m7
 The revolution is not televised
     G#m7G#m7       Gm7Gm7   F#m7F#m7
Media perception is forced down the throats of closed minds

So it's lies in the headlines
  C#m7C#m7           G#m7G#m7            C#m7C#m7
And generations of supremacy resulting in your ignorant, privileged eyes
G#m7G#m7             C#m7C#m7
 We breathe the same and we bleed the same
     G#m7G#m7
But still, we don't see the same
Gm7Gm7 F#m7F#m7
Be thankful we are God-fearing
             C#m7C#m7
Because we do not seek revenge
        G#m7G#m7
We seek justice, we are past fear
  C#m7C#m7          G#m7G#m7
We are fed up eating your shit
            C#m7C#m7
Because you think your so-called "black friend"
C#m7C#m7            Gm7Gm7     F#m7F#m7
Validates your wokeness and erases your racism
                 C#m7C#m7               G#m7G#m7
That kind of uncomfortable conversation is too hard for your trust-fund pockets to swallow
  C#m7C#m7              G#m7G#m7
To swallow the strange fruit hanging from my family tree
C#m7C#m7
 Because of your audacity
G#m7G#m7         Gm7Gm7   F#m7F#m7
 To say all men are created equal in the eyes of God
          C#m7C#m7
But disparage a man based on the color of his skin
G#m7G#m7     C#m7C#m7
 Do not say you do not see color
G#m7G#m7        C#m7C#m7
 When you see us, see us
G#m7G#m7       Gm7Gm7 F#m7F#m7
 We can't breathe
