_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ Rosalind's new here, she just moved down.
_ Her friends all [Eb] warn her [Db] about that [Ab] part of town. _ _
She [Eb] feels safe in [Ab] the city streets.
_ The darkness [Eb] makes her [Db] feel [Ab] at ease.
_ _ _ But when [Bbm] she walks two [Fm] blocks over to [Eb] the suburbs, _
_ [Bbm] she's scared because [Fm] everything's a different [Eb] color.
_ Color. _ _
[Ab] Oh, _ [Bbm] Rosalind, [Ab] outside looking [Eb] in.
_ [Ab] All you hear [Bb] is how we've come so [Eb] far.
_ [Eb] _ Oh, [Ab] _ _
[Bbm] Rosalind, how [Ab] can we judge [Eb] your skin? _
[Db] Never [Eb] give a damn about [Ab] your heart. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ [Eb] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Fm] Rosalind's armor, _ the [Db] clothes she wears,
_ [Ab] _ they [Fm] protect [Db] her from our stares. _
A brand new jacket, _ expensive _ _ purse.
When she wears it, nothing hurts. _ _ _
[Bbm] Dark, clean [Fm] streets only make her [Eb] feel filthy. _
_ _ [Bbm] She doesn't [Fm] know why she feels [Eb] so guilty, _ guilty. _ _
[Ab] Oh, _ [Bbm] Rosalind, [Eb] outside _ looking in.
_ [Ab] All you [Bb] hear is how we've come [Fm] so far.
_ [Eb] _ Oh, [Ab] _ _
[Bbm] Rosalind, how can [Fm] we judge [Eb] your skin? _
[Db] Never [Eb] give a damn [Bbm] about your heart.
It's all [Ab] about your heart. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
We're trying [F] so [Bb] hard.
We're trying [Ab] so hard.
_ _ _ _ Rosalind, don't give up.
[Eb] _ Don't give up on us.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Eb] Because we all [Ab] know it's so easy to fake it _ _ [Ab] when all we care
about is being _ [F]
blameless.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] Oh, _ Rosalind, [Eb] outside looking in.
[Ab] We don't even know who you [Eb] are. _
_ [Ab] Oh, _ _ Rosalind, how [Eb] can we judge your skin?
_ [Db] Never [Eb] give a damn [Ab] about your heart.
[Fm] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ About your heart. _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
