Intro:
E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm C majorC E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm

 E minorEm               D MajorD
I’m not saying that I’ve got it all figured out
      E minorEm
I’m just saying that most people
        C majorC
Seem to be without a doubt
   E minorEm               D MajorD
So scared to death of what they just don’t understand
        E minorEm              C majorC
You know they been doing that one since the dawning of man
       E minorEm             D MajorD
If you need the union of marriage that the bible portrays
  E minorEm             C majorC
It’s after the part permitting human enslavement
  E minorEm
People always need other people to hate
  E minorEm
It’s the evil that the human mind creates

        C majorC             D MajorD
But we can’t go on pretending that we’re strong
           E minorEm
Pretending that we’re better than everyone
        C majorC         D MajorD
And don’t blame God for your own hatred
         E minorEm
That you direct unto his children, that’s you alone

 E minorEm
One love, one love
 D MajorD
That’s what you’re telling me
 E minorEm
Except for “them,” never “them,”
 C majorC
They’re not your “family.”
 E minorEm
That’s the same old story
  D MajorD
The same old ideology:
 E minorEm   C majorC
1492. 1861. 2014

 E minorEm              D MajorD          E minorEm
And then you blame it on the bible and the pages written by who knows who
    C majorC           E minorEm
Then loosely got translated to 50 languages
     D MajorD            E minorEm           E minorEm
Now everyone’s “tradition” is hatred, loosely translated

       C majorC            D MajorD
We can’t go on pretending that we’re strong
           E minorEm
Pretending that we’re better then everyone
       C majorC        D MajorD
Don’t blame god for your own hatred
        E minorEm
That you direct unto his children, that’s you alone
     C majorC               D MajorD
We can’t go on pretending that we’re strong
           E minorEm
Pretending that we’re better then everyone
       C majorC        D MajorD
Don’t blame god for your own hatred
               E minorEm
That you keep right in your heart there
                         C majorC
And you love it, and what would you do without it?
  E minorEm
Pick up your hatred and find it in the pages
  C majorC             D MajorD
And then translate it to look just like you made it
   E minorEm
And change the faces to look like your faces
  C majorC
And you can change the names
  D MajorD               E minorEm
To fit into your translation of “one.”
