Love Letters To God chords by Nahko Bear

[Verse:]

C/G
Give, Always give what you can
G
Even if your allies draw lines in the sand
Am
And dig, always dig a little deeper
F
Sometimes it?s hard to be my brother?s keeper
C/G
Love. So you let love in
G
Baby I am home in the wake of your skin,
Am
and it?s crazy How we wear our ceremonies
F

Always be open to your path and your journey
C/G                       G
Yes, she cradles my loneliness
                   Am
A home in a forest nest
                 F
Universal test, feel the weight of my love put your hand on my chest
  C/G
And rest
In the cradle of my arms
G
The battle that we face is a place where our scars come from
Am
And to pick up that gun
F
My love we are destined to teach these ones
C/G
to be brave
And never run away
G                                                      Am
Courage is birthed from the womb on the first light of day
                       F
Yeah, the day you were born you came out perfect never meant to be torn
C/G                                   G
In silence, never been so loud in the violence
                         Am
Never been so proud of a people
                                  F
When we?re fighting for a change, not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage
C/G
We are animals
And we cannot be caged
G
Provoke us to fight
                                   Am
So we burn a little sage and write poetry
                             F
Wiser than the enemy will ever be
The minority
C/G
An authority
                                G
Are you here to protect or arrest me?
                                 Am
I can?t tolerate the hate, and I'm losing sleep
                                          F
Can?t breathe because they?re choking out a war in me
Immorality

[Chorus]

C/G             Em
Love letters to God
F                                C/G
I Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
Am            F          C/G
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
C/G                 Em
So many parts to a heavy heart
F                        C/G
If there?s no beginning, then where would you start?
Am     F            C/G
Start, start, where would you start?

[Verse 2]

C/G                                              G
Human souls, so we carve them to a story Totem poles
                                              Am
Because we?re always searching for a certain goal
                       F
A pattern of physics, a role
Don?t believe all you?re told
C/G
And open
Open up your fist
G
A misconception, you can fight like this
Am
In praise. With the power of prayer
F
If God?s on our side we can take the stairs
C/G
To the heavens
Flipping through my chapter seven
G
I live with the snakes in the great deception
Am
No court, in this country for men
F
Who steal from their mother on paper with pen
C/G
And we?re tripping
Down a red dirt road
G
And we?re asking
Is this the way we should go?
Am
Kissing, soft top feet of my goddess
F
We walk the earth, baby yeah we got this
C/G
Focus, and it?s redirected
G
Grateful, and I?m resurrected
Am
Stubborn, But I know the way
F
You?re the skin of my drum
To your rhythm I will sway
C/G
Take my hand
I won?t lead you astray
G
We will not go gently into the darkest of days
Am
Grandma?s here, and she says persevere
F
Take a walk in her mocks sees a trail of tears
C/G
And our fears, are the same as they ever were beers[?]
G
Numb the pain of our holocaust years
Am
Always mobbing and motion
F
Maybe, baby be an island over an ocean
C/G                                           G
Your arches, how they bend and contract in my Conscious
                                      Am
Never slipped through the grip of my thesis
                                  F
And my theory is I shine in your presence
A deliverance

[Chorus]

C/G             Em
Love letters to God
F                          C/G
I Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
Am            F          C/G
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
C/G                 Em
So many parts to a heavy heart
F                        C/G
If there?s no beginning, then where would you start?
Am     F            C/G
