• Capo on 1st
• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: Eb

Verse 1:
D
Why'd you have to go and get political
       E
Just shut up and sing us a song
A                                        D   A
People don't care what you have got to say
D
Why'd you have to make me feel uncomfortable
     E
By suggesting that I might be in the wrong
 A                                           D  D7
I feel called out and it's really spoiled my day

Chorus:
    G
Keep politics out of music
               D
Music was never political before
              A                                         D  D7
Back when I thought everybody's views were the same as mine
          G
Though I never really listened to the lyrics in songs
               F#7                   B
Which made the messages easier to ignore
E
Now I'm shocked to find
E
Ny favorite artists and I
                          A
Are perhaps not morally aligned

Verse 2:
D
Why'd you have to go and get political
      E
Just stick to music please
A                                         B
The things you're saying are making me angry
            G
Because my relative privilege
           D                    B
Makes it hard for me to acknowledge
        E                      A         D
That I might be on the wrong side of history
