G#m  F#
(Oh-oh
E
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)


G#m
So go ahead and fix your crown
F#          E
Then watch it all burn in smoke, oh, oh
G#m
Go ahead and stand your ground
F#             E
We're on the long road to freedom, oh, no

VERSE ONE:
G#m
Too much time tryna figure out why
F#
Too much time to be patient
E
All this time you be feeding us lies
E
Ain't no truth in your statements

G#m
Too much pain in these little white lies
F#
You left here
E
All this time tryna figure out how
E
We still here

G#m
I take pride in the things that we've done
F#
Side by side in the revolution
E
Won't stay silent for things that I love
E
'Cause we know dem nuh care about us

G#m
White men can't jump but at least they can run
F#
Broke these chains just to put our hands up
E
They can never see the kingdom coming
E
You wanna see us all amount to nothing, no

PRE-CHORUS:
G#m       F#              E
I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
E                      G#m
I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
G#m          F#             E
If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
E
Both feet on the line

G#m       F#
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
E
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)

By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
E        F#
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)

POST-CHORUS:
G#m               F#
I've spent too many days in my head now
F#            E
Did you think we would forget, how
E
Too many destinies, too many sentences
F#     G#m
Read now, read now
G#m             F#
See all this pain in the headlines
F#            E
But I have cried for the last time
E
But know what happens, see
E             F#           G#m
You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye

VERSE TWO:
F#
And what if we changed the world
E
We rise from the flames the victor
E
It's far from a perfect picture
G#m
I know we're sinful but we are human
F#
Would you be grateful if you took my place
E
Say my name (Say my name)
E              F#
There is redemption in the steps we take

G#m
Say, one life and I'm gonna use it (Oh)
F#
Innocent 'til I am proven (Oh, no)
E
One last chance and you blew it (Oh)
E
One last dance in the ruins (Oh)

G#m
So much hate in your movements (Oh, no)
F#
Told me I couldn't prove it (No)
E
One last prayer for the sinners (Ooh)
E              F#
You only learn what you witness (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

PRE-CHORUS:
G#m        F#              E
I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
E                      G#m
I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
G#m          F#              E
If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
E
Both feet on the line

G#m       F#
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
E
By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)

By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
