Born In Babylon Chords by Soja

[Gm] I came from nothing [Bb] but not nothing like nothing, [Gm] nothing
Like [Bb] nobody thought I was something, nothing
Like called every name in the book
[Eb] But for every second guess I [Bb] never gave a second look, [Gm] look
I tell myself don't [Bb] let it get to me
[Gm] Cause if the best they got is [Bb] not impressing me
Then there's no reason they should get the best of me
While [Eb] they were raving at my words they [F] miss the rest of me, [Eb] see
So how [F] can I [Bb] stop all [Gm] these [Dm] critics from their [Bb] talking?
[Eb] The [F] more I do the more they [Gm] say
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ But there's [F] no way I'm stopping
[Gm] _ So they just keep [C] on talking
[Eb] And who do [F] you think [Bb] I [F] think [Gm] I am? _ _ _ _ _ _
I got the feeling [Db] that there's more like [Eb] me
Born in Babylon but [Dm] you just got to be free
[Gm] Shackles on your feet that [Bb] you and me can't see
But [Eb] you can feel them and they heavy [Bb] so you need that key
[Eb] And so you're looking [Bb] at your hands saying man
[Eb] If I ditch this system these could [Bb] be mine _
[Gm] But then you hear a voice come up [F] from behind
Don't [Eb] even think about stepping [Bb] out of line _ _
[Eb] _ So [F] how can [Bb] I stop all [Gm] these [Bb] critics from their [C] talking?
[Eb] _ [Bb] The more [F] I do the more they [Gm] _ say
[F] _ _ _ _
[Eb] But _ [Bb] there's no way I'm [F] stopping
[Gm] _ So they [F] just keep on talking
[Eb] Who do [F] you think I think [Gm] I am?
Who do you think I _
_ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[B] am?
The prints are deep and they're all I've got
[Gm] They stand up behind me if you like it or not
And I'm telling you that the fire's hot
Can you see that smoking?
Did you hear that shot?
Cause there's some warring in [Am] the middle I am
So [Gm] judge me now with your [F] pen and can
Cause [Eb] I'm too busy [Dm] to judge another man
I'm trying to write the [G] blueprint for all the world to understand
[Eb] _ [Bb] How [F] can [Bb] I stop all [Gm] these [Dm] critics from [Bb] their talking?
[Eb] _ The [F] more I do the more they [Bb] _ say
[F] _ More they say
[Eb] But [Bb] there's no [F] way I'm stopping
[Gm] _ So they [Bb] just keep on [Eb] talking
Who do [F] you think I think [Gm] I am?
[Dm] Who do [C] you think [F] I [Gm] am?
How [F] can I stop all [Bb] these critics from their talking?
_ The [F] more I do the more [Gm] they say
_ _ _ [F] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] There's no way I'm [F]
[Gm] stopping
So they just keep [F] on [Eb] talking
_ Who do [F] you think I [Bb] think I am?
Who do you think I [F] think [Eb] I am?
Maybe I should leave you [F] myself
Cause I'm [Gm] just giving these [Bb] critics help
[C] And it makes [Eb] me twist my stomach [Bb] in half
[F] If I [Gm] handed his pen to put me in to the [F] same breath
[Eb] If I never tried to do this [Bb] at [F] all
And I [Gm] think he'd be out of [Bb] a job
[F] And maybe [Eb] I just should've stayed [F] in bed
Stay out [Gm] of the booth and put all these guitars [F] in the closet
[Eb] Maybe I should go back [F] to school
But [Gm] anymore education just makes me [F] feel like a fool
[Eb] So I guess I gotta let [Dm] critics [F] talk
Cause I [Gm] won't stop _ _ _ _ _
