I took the needle out of my arm about
F C
A year ago today,
C E
And every day since then I�ve been taking
F G
The needle out of my brain.
F G
So when I�m staring down at my hands I can�t explain
E F
Just what it is that I�m thinking of,
G C
Except thank god that all my veins have to pump is my blood.
C E F C
C E F G
C E
I�ve done you so much wrong I can�t believe
F C
You would still talk to me.
C E
And I say so much bullshit I can�t believe
F G
That anyone around me can breathe.
F G
I know that it�s a little dramatic,
E F
But the word for not changing is �dead.�
G C
So I�m getting better, my friends, but please don�t hold your breath.
C E F C

C E
I met a man in rehab the first time,
F C
An organizer in prison.
C E
He lived in Chicago when the cops shot Fred Hampton,
F G
But he was just a kid back then.
F G
Justice doesn�t flow from police guns,
E F
I�m reminded of that all the time.
G C
As long as there is a law, peace will be a crime.
C E F C
C E F G
C E
What the news calls economics,
F C
I still call it violence.
C E
If your god is a judge or a jailer,
F G
I�m still an atheist.
F G
But I try to have faith in the things that will happen;
E F
I get saved from myself when i do.
G C
So maybe �god� isn�t the right word, but I believe in you.
C E F C
