Intro:
Em  D  Em  C  Em  D  Em

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

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

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

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

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