Chords for Lauryn Hill - Adam Lives In Theory (Unplugged)

A lot of these songs too, some of them, you know, they don't even really have titles yet, you know, so if you have any suggestions just
you know, raise your head.
So I just call, I call them like a line in the song, you know, this one
_ we refer to as Adam Lives in Theory and
when I refer to Adam, I'm really speaking about all of humanity, you know, without exception [D] of anybody.
_ [C#m] And I [Bm] know that [A] a lot of the content in the [D] songs is
very [C#m] heavy, you know, but
[Bm] see, [A] fantasy is what people want, [D] but reality is what they need.
[C#m] _ [B] And I've just retired [A] from the fantasy [D] part [C#m] because I [Bm] realized that
_ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ [Bm] y'all gonna make me [A] cry. _
[D] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _
[D] Adam lives in [C#m] theory, trying to [Bm] turn stone into [A] brave. _
[D] Masquerading [C#m] like he's got it figured [Bm] out.
_ [A] _
[D] Cut off from the [C#m] sunshine, only [Bm] sparring his [A] own hair. _
[D] Leaving his [C#m] descendants to [Bm] open doubt.
[A] _
[D] Left to his [C#m] devices, [Bm] those worthless [A] sacrifices, [D] praying to the altar [C#m] of his self.
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] Making [C#m] pilgrimages, [B] thinking he's religious, [A] like [D] he's got all the light and [C#m] no one else.
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] He takes the unsuspecting
cause he knows they're not connected [Bm] and he shows them how to be just as he is.
_ [F#m] Virtually real and commercially appeal [C#m] to the lust of all the [Bm] people where he lives.
[A] _ [D] Evil so [C#m] naive, [Bm] blinded by the pride and [A] greed.
[D] Wanting to be intellectual,
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [D] drifting from [C#m] the way [Bm] he got turned [A] down one day.
[D] And now she thinks that [C#m] she's bisexual.
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ Caught up in emotion,
_ burning up her devotion [Bm] to the king of exploitation in the field.
_ [F#m] _ She handed him her virtue
cause he told her I won't [C#m] hurt you.
So she lay with him [Bm] to see how good it feels.
_ [A] Now can you tell me [D] what, what we [C#m] gonna do now?
[Bm] Where [A] we gonna go [D] now?
What we [C#m] gonna say now?
[Bm] _ [A] Now can you tell me [D] what, what we [C#m] gonna do [Bm] now?
[A] Where we gonna go now?
[D] What we gonna [C#m] say now?
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ [D] Now after the [C#m] sensation and [Bm] the empty [A] fornication,
[D] she brought affection home [C#m] into her bed.
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ Quickly multiplying.
[C#m] Now [Bm] the three of them are dying
[A] by the [Bm] poison she perceived [C#m] to be good.
_ [Bm] _ _ [A] Now [D] even her [C#m] husband
put her in that judgment
[A] cause [Bm] everything appeared to [C#m] be the same.
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ [D] They entertain [C#m] suggestions, [Bm] next time she'd use [A] protection.
Desiring to cover [C#m] up their shame.
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ But much to their demise,
poor decision closed [Bm] their eyes.
To the very end, they dealt their dilemma.
_ _ [F#m] _ Burning in their lust.
Both of them [C#m] adulterers.
Destroying the [Bm] original agenda.
_ _ _ [A] _ [D] Rang to the [C#m] sky in order [Bm] to maintain [A] life.
[D] They exhausted every [C#m] possible conclusion.
[Bm] _ _ [A] They [D] can't even [C#m] entertain
the [Bm] solution in their [A] brain.
Filled [D] with vain information [C#m] and pollution.
_ _ [F#m] _ Hiding from the truth.
He provided an excuse
[Bm] to explain away his desperate situation.
_ [F#m] When confronted, blamed his wife.
Giving her calm [C#m] lies.
Refusing to acknowledge [Bm] what he'd done.
[A] If [D] we can't agree
[C#m] with who created us to be
[A] as [D] we're guilty everyone before it's [Bm] us.
_ [A] _ [D] Making no [C#m] exceptions
[Bm] day of our conception.
_ [D] Predisposed to hating truth [C#m] and loving [Bm] lies.
Can [A] you tell me what
[D] what we gonna [C#m] do now?
[Bm] Where we gonna go [D] now?
What we gonna [C#m] say now?
[Bm] Now [A] can you tell me what
[D] what we [C#m] gonna do now?
[Bm] Where [A] we gonna go now?
[D] What we [C#m] gonna say now?
[Bm] _ _ [F#m] _ Stop walking in [Bm] pride.
Let the thief be [C#m] crucified.
Unlearn everything you [Bm] know and let him teach you.
_ [F#m] _ Line upon [Bm] line
and receptor [C#m] upon precept.
Say goodbye to this [Bm] decaying social system.
_ [F#m] _ He wants to [Bm] know
how far we're willing [C#m] to go.
If we love him like we [Bm] say we do he'll try us.
[F#m] _ Just you don't [Bm] regress
or submit to [C#m] hopelessness.
Once he's satisfied [Bm] his loving won't deny us.
[A] And then he'll tell us [D] what
what we [C#m] gonna do [Bm] now?
[A] Where we gonna go [D] now?
What we [C#m] gonna say now?
[Bm] _ [A] And then he'll tell us [D] what
what we [C#m] gonna do now?
[Bm] Where [A] we gonna go now?
[D] What we [C#m] gonna say now?
[Bm] _ [A] I'm telling you [D] telling you.
[A] I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
_ _ [D] _
[C#m] She's gonna tell [Bm] us.
Tell [A] us.
