[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] I was done at 16, _ _ showing up for [C#m] _ class.
[B] I was out there in [C#m] the rain, [C#] learning how to kick [C#m] some ass.
[C#]
I was done [C#m] at 16, _ [C#]
using my _ [C#m] mama's key. _ _
[B] It was all [C#m] on me.
[C#] _
It was all on _ [E] me. _
[D#m] Weren't no [C#] free rides, weren't no [E] _ _ _ IOUs.
I [B] pulled [E] my weight, yes, [F#] I paid [C#] my dues.
And I showed up to enlist on the first day of _ _ _ recruits.
How about _ _ you? _ _
_ How about you? _
I'm my _ brother's _ keeper every chance [C#m] I get.
_ [B] And I pay [A] my _ taxes [E] like any working [C#] _ [C#m] man.
[C#] And I feel I've earned _ my right [G#m] to choose.
_ You [D#m] _ don't [B] get to play _ God, man, [C#] I [E] do. _ _
[B] You don't [A] get to play God, man, I do. _ _
You get [D#] to run the world in your special [E] way. _ _
You get [D#] much more, much more than you're [F#] saved.
_ [A]
Government, _ _ [D#] religion, _ it's all just _ [E] patriarchy.
_ I _ _ _ [D#] insist _ you leave this [C#m] one thing to me. _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Am] Just leave [C#] this one thing to me. _
_ _ _ _ Just _ leave this one thing to [E] me. _
_ [B] _ _ [A] _ _ _ Just leave [B] this [C#m] one thing.
_ _ [Am] _
_ [B] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ [A] Because there's [B] just one thing [A] that a man needs to [F#] be truly [C#m] free.
This _ _ [C#] _
_ is the [C#m] modern world, and that one thing is money.
_ _ [C#] But there are two _ things that a woman _ _ needs. _
Control _ over _ _ her own body. _ _
I pay [C#m] the price on [A] top of _ [C#] everything.
[C#m] _ _ [D#m]
Each _ month [A] a bill, each month [B] a _ [C#m] reckoning.
And [B]
each seed that [C#] dies, I cry and I [C#m] bleed.
So [B] you _ can't tell [E] me, _ you can't [C#] tell [C#m] me. _
I [C#] _ _ am a soldier, it's my blood that flows. _
Yeah, I'd give my life so that this tree can [C#m] grow. _
[G#m] You don't know _ [A] _ [C#m] _ creation _ like I know. _
[C#] So you _ _ can't tell me, no, you can't tell [A] me.
You [F#] _ _ [A] can't tell me, no, [C#] you can't tell me.
[A]
You get to [D#] run the world in your special [A] way. _
You _ get [D#] much more, much more than you're [E] saved. _
Government, _ _ [D#] religion, _ it's all just _ [E] patriarchy. _
I _ must [D#] _ insist you leave this [E] one [C#m] thing to me. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
Just [C#] leave this one thing to me.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Just leave this one thing to me.
_ [D#m] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ Just leave this one thing.
_ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ Because I'm my _ _ brother's keeper [C#] every [C#m] chance I get.
_ And I [C#] pay my _ taxes like any [C#m] working man.
And [A] I [B] feel [E] I've [F#] earned _ my right [C#m] to choose. _ _
[B] You don't get to play _ God, man, _ [C#m] I do. _ _
[B] You don't get to play God, man, _ [C#m] I do. _ _
[C#] You don't get to play God, _ man, I do. _ _
