You chords by James Arthur Ft. Travis Barker

Guitar chords with lyrics

INTRO:  Am

VERSE:
Am
Fighting, living, dying
Am
For what?
Am
For freedom?
Am
That's what which men have fought since time began
Am
To be free

VERSE:
Am
They've been making blanked statements, scaring everyone
Am
They've been making you feel like you never did belong
G F
Yeah, he said, and she said, yeah, they say a lot
F                                        F G
So many things, they just think you forgot
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Am
Who you are, and what you do, and where you're coming from
Am
I just thought I could remind you with a simple song
G F
Look, that body language can start to rebuff
F
Till we're choosing weapons and hatred, not love
      G
Not you

CHORUS:
                  F                          Dm
You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
                     Am
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
     G
I knew you always would
                            F
'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
                    Dm
Words can never break your bones
                     Am
You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
    G
I knew you always would
    F                Dm
I knew you always would
   F                 Dm                        Am
I knew there always was nothing wrong with being
Am
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you

VERSE:
Am
All you ever see on CNN are enemies
Am
Telling you to lose your individuality
G F
Look, do this and do that, till you've lost your way
F                                     F G
Till you need a vice or a means of escape

Am
They want you to stare into your screen and see yourself
Am
Blow smoke into your mirror till you're mentally unwell
G F
So don't let them catch you with lies and deceit
F                                            G
They can't take your soul or desire for freedom

CHORUS:
                  F                          Dm
You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
                     Am
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
     G
I knew you always would
                            F
'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
                    Dm
Words can never break your bones
                     Am
You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
    G
I knew you always would
    F                Dm
I knew you always would
   F                 Dm                        Am
I knew there always was nothing wrong with being

BRIDGE:
Am
Yeah, yeah
Am
You said I wanna be I'm gonna be
Am
Everything they said I couldn't be
Am
Everything that I said I would be
Am
When I picked up a pen and I started to speak
Am
I hear the beat, my melody
Am
I just pour all my heart in these sheets
Am
I cannot just be a star in the streets
Am
Man, I knew what was different, I had that belief
F
Nowhere to live, nothing to eat
Am
You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep
Dm
You couldn't breathe, I couldn't be
C
All of this shit was happening to me
Am
I would do drugs, I was a thief
Am
Still on the run from the karma police
Am
You were the mission that was given to me
Am
By the powers to be ?:

                  F                          Dm
You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
                     Am
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
     G
I knew you always would


CHORUS:
                  F                          Dm
You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
                     Am
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
     G
I knew you always would
                            F
'Cause they were throwing sticks and stones
                    Dm
Words can never break your bones
                     Am
You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
    G
I knew you always would
    F                Dm
I knew you always would
   F                 Dm
I knew there always was
   F                 Dm                        Am
I knew there always was nothing wrong with being
Am
You
Am
You
