I took the needle out of my arm about
A# F
A year ago today,
F A
And every day since then I've been taking
A# C
The needle out of my brain.
A# C
So when I'm staring down at my hands I can't explain
A A#
Just what it is that I'm thinking of,
C F
Except thank god that all my veins have to pump is my blood.
F A A# F
F A A# C
F A
I've done you so much wrong I can't believe
A# F
You would still talk to me.
F A
And I say so much bullshit I can't believe
A# C
That anyone around me can breathe.
A# C
I know that it's a little dramatic,
A A#
But the word for not changing is “dead.”
C F
So I'm getting better, my friends, but please don't hold your breath.

F A
I met a man in rehab the first time,
A# F
An organizer in prison.
F A
He lived in Chicago when the cops shot Fred Hampton,
A# C
But he was just a kid back then.
A# C
Justice doesn't flow from police guns,
A A#
I'm reminded of that all the time.
C F
As long as there is a law, peace will be a crime.
F A A# F

F A
What the news calls economics,
A# F
I still call it violence.
F A
If your god is a judge or a jailer,
A# C
I'm still an atheist.
A# C
But I try to have faith in the things that will happen;
A A#
I get saved from myself when i do.
C F
So maybe “god” isn't the right word, but I believe in you.
