[B] [A]
[B] [C#] I'm not a racist, [C#m] I'm not a protester.
I [E] hold a hood high like everybody expects.
[B] And I know you've got a history of making a mess.
Misunderstood's an [C#m] understatement at best.
How long, how long?
[A] Will you demand my [B] sympathy?
We all know her.
[A] So why do you [B] feel beneath [A] you?
You're on a pretty [B] face, giving a pretty [G#] face.
No one's buying it [F#]
anyway.
[C] [C#m] You're so dry, trying to [A] grow.
I ain't the mess you've made of [E] your own life.
[G#]
[C#m] If I feel [A] this way, it means I'm still the life [E] you've got.
Whoa, [G#] because I'll keep this wolf of a stuff [C#] you know.
[A] [B]
[C#] You're not a racist, I'm not a [A] protester.
I hold a hood high like everybody expects.
And [E] I know you've got a [B] history of making a [C#m] mess.
Misunderstood's an understatement at best.
[C#] You say you try.
[A] You're after something [B] better.
It doesn't show.
[A] You're still [B] not put together.
[A] You're on a pretty face, [B] giving a pretty [G#] face.
No one's buying [F#] it anyway.
[C#m] You're so dry, trying [A] to grow.
I ain't the mess you've made of your own [E] life.
[G#] This is what [C#m] you know you can buy.
Just like you've been [A] told, it won't turn to the
[E] lot.
Whoa, [G#] because the pieces won't, you [C#] know.
[C#m]
[G#m] [C#] [A] [C#] Everybody [B] knows [A] [G#m] [A] [C#m] [B] [Am]

And the pieces [C#] won't help [G#] you now.
[E] [G#] [C#m] You're trying to [A] grow.
I ain't the mess you've made of your [E] own life.
But [G#] the pieces tell you [C#m] that you can buy.
Just like [A] you've been told, it won't turn to the lot [E] you've got.
Because the [G#] pieces won't [C#m] help you now.
You're so dry, trying to [A] grow.
I ain't
[E] [G#]
the mess you've made [C#m] of your own life.
Just like you've [A] been told, it won't turn to the lot [E] you've got.
