The Key Chords & Lyrics by Kate McGill
The Key
guitar chords lyrics
intro: C Am F C
C
We're taught to tell the truth
But yet we're taught to force a smile
Am
They lead us down a road
But they can only see a mile
F
We only see what they want us to see
C
We only see what they want us to see
C
They line us up in uniforms
And tell us not to feel
Am
They've never been to heaven
But they tell us that it's real
F
They only see what they wanna see
C
They only see what they wanna see
F
We watch them pray
G
Down on their knees
Em Am
'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be
F G
And thanks to them, we can be free
F G (hold)
Thanks to them...
F G Am
We have the key---------
F G Am
You'll be you and I'll be me
F G Am
We have the key---------
F G Am
You'll be you and I'll be me
C
They say that they're not puppets
Then we point them to the strings
Am
Convinced they'll stay together
By the paper and the ring
F
But they can't see what we want them to see
C
They just can't see what we want them to see
C
So tell me all your secrets
and I'll tell you all my fears
Am
'Cause if we knock these walls down
Am (hold)
We might know why we're here
F
We watch them pray
G
Down on their knees
Em Am
'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be
F G
And thanks to them, we can be free
F G (hold)
Thanks to them...
F G Am
We have the key---------
F G Am
You'll be you and I'll be me
F G Am
We have the key---------
F G Am
You'll be you and I'll be me
F
We watch them pray
G
Down on their knees
Em Am
'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be
F G
They just can't see
F G Am
We have the key---------
F G Am
You'll be you and I'll be me
F G Am
We have the key---------
F G Am
You'll be you and I'll be me
