Song For Next May Day Cifras

[Intro]
C F C F C F Am G
 
 
[Verse 1]
C                       F C
  They stole everything
                   F C
And locked it away
                          F
So we'll smash everything
Am              G
  That's in the way
C            F C
  Of a world
                              F C
Where we can stand to breathe
                  F
Without giving up
Am                G
 What being human means
 
 
[Chorus]
         C        G       Am      G         F                Fm
We can't wait for someone else to write the songs that we'll sing on the barricades
C    G       Am     G       F                 Fm
Or until the last police is gone to keep each other safe
C        G          Am      G         F        Fm
We can't wait until we know we aren't wrong to raise the stakes
         C        G       Am      G         F                Fm
We can't wait for someone else to write the songs that we'll sing on the barricades
 
 
[Instrumental]
C D Em G F
 
 
[Bridge]
           C            G                 Am                     F
And I meet people everyday who can barely bring themselves to believe
         C             G     F
That the sun is coming up again
       C           G             Am                     F
I meet people everyday who can't bring themselves to believe
         C              G
That the world is gonna change
                              C
As if it's ever done anything else

So we'll smash everything
Am              G
  That's in the way
C           F C
  Of a life
                              F C
Where we can stand to breathe
                  F
Without giving up
Am                G
