C#m7 G#m7    C#m7
         Oh, oh

Oh,  oh, oh


Verse 1:
C#m7            G#m7                          C#m7
  Starting a war, screaming "Peace" at the same time
              G#m7                    C#m7
All the corruption, injustice, the same crimes
            G#m7             Gm7   F#m7
Always a problem if we do or don't fight

And we die, we don't have the same right
C#m7          G#m7               C#m7
  What is a gun to a man that surrenders?
                   G#m7                  C#m7
What's it gonna take for someone to defend her?
              G#m7               Gm7   F#m7
If we all agree that we're equal as people

Then why can't we see what is evil?

  How do we cope when we don't love each other?
               G#m7             C#m7
Where is the hope and the empathy? (Yeah)
            G#m7
How do we judge off the color?
Gm7      F#m7
The structure was made to make us the enemy (Yeah)
C#m7              G#m7                         C#m7
  Prayin' for change 'cause the pain makes you tender
           G#m7                  C#m7
All of the names you refuse to remember
               G#m7
Was somebody's brother, friend
Gm7  F#m7
Or a son to a mother that's crying, singing


Chorus:
C#m7      G#m7
  I can't breathe
C#m7               G#m7

  I can't breathe
Gm7 F#m7
        Will anyone fight for me? (Yeah)

Oh,  oh, oh (For me)


Verse 3 tabbed by bizzlex94:
C#m7
Trying times all the time
G#m7                  C#m7
  Destruction of minds, bodies, and human rights
G#m7                    C#m7
  Stripped of bloodlines, whipped and confined
            G#m7
This is the American pride
Gm7    F#m7
  It's justifying a genocide
                       C#m7
Romanticizing the theft and bloodshed
               G#m7
That made America the land of the free
C#m7                   G#m7
  To take a black life, land of the free
              C#m7                 G#m7            Gm7
To bring a gun to a peaceful fight for civil rights
        F#m7
You are desensitized to pulling triggers on innocent lives
        C#m7                                G#m7
Because that's how we got here in the first place
            C#m7
These wounds sink deeper than the bullet
G#m7                      C#m7
Your entitled hands could ever reach
      G#m7                  Gm7     F#m7
Generations and generations of pain, fear, and anxiety
                            C#m7
Equality is walking without intuition
              G#m7                                 C#m7
Saying the protector and the killer is wearing the same uniform
G#m7                    C#m7
  The revolution is not televised
         G#m7              Gm7      F#m7
Media perception is forced down the throats of closed minds

So it's lies in the headlines
    C#m7                     G#m7                        C#m7
And generations of supremacy resulting in your ignorant, privileged eyes
G#m7                         C#m7
  We breathe the same and we bleed the same
          G#m7
But still, we don't see the same
Gm7 F#m7
Be  thankful we are God-fearing
                         C#m7
Because we do not seek revenge
                G#m7
We seek justice, we are past fear
   C#m7                   G#m7
We are fed up eating your shit
                       C#m7
Because you think your so-called "black friend"
C#m7                        Gm7         F#m7
Validates your wokeness and erases your racism
                                 C#m7                              G#m7
That kind of uncomfortable conversation is too hard for your trust-fund pockets to swallow
   C#m7                            G#m7
To swallow the strange fruit hanging from my family tree
C#m7
  Because of your audacity
G#m7                 Gm7     F#m7
  To say all men are created equal in the eyes of God
                    C#m7
But disparage a man based on the color of his skin
G#m7         C#m7
  Do not say you do not see color
G#m7               C#m7
  When you see us, see us
G#m7              Gm7 F#m7
  We can't breathe
