D             G              A                 D
I open up the window and the sun comes pouring in
  Bm            A                G               D
Reminding me it ain't so bad the shape that I am in
  D              G            A               D
I could be under rubble where sunlight cannot reach
   Bm             A           G              D
Or runnin' from a bullet on a Middle Eastern beach
D               G            A             D
Or I could be a school child in a lockdown drill

Whose parents are too petrified to explain why they will
D                  G           A            D
Sometimes make you get down so quiet and so still
   Bm             A          G               D
So as not to draw nearer the one who aims to kill

Verse 2:
D                G          A               D
Or I could be on chemo just fighting for my life
       Bm                 A           G       D
'Cause that's the cost of working the toxic 9-5
D                     G              A          D
Could drown myself in liquor as they bury me in debt
  Bm           A               G              D
I didn't go to college I guess this is what I get
D               G                A               D
Or I could be a soldier fighting in a rich man's war
Bm           A            G             D
Never really knowing what I am fighting for
D               G         A          D
Or I could be a terrorist on a scary list
        Bm        A             G                     D
Because I went to protest and I marched with a raised fist

Verse 3:
D            G              A              D
I could be a grown man with my head in the sand
     Bm                A                 G                D
Well you get yours and I'll get mine the rest is in God's hands
D               G         A            D
Or I could be a victim of awful circumstance
      Bm          A            G             D
Where I am held accountable or villanized perchance
D                     G                 A              D
Oh but I am just some white dude please see how much I care
 Bm              A               G         D
About all of you people here and even over there
D                G           A            D
I'm doing what I can do just trying to survive
    Bm             A           G           D
I'm screaming it into the void end the genocide
                   G           A           D
I'm screaming it into the void end the genocide
