[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D Sometimes it's hard to breathe D When we do what must be done D To keep our lives in order D And to have a little fun D We've must have love for those against us D For every man and child C D We can do it, we can make it, for a while
[Verse 2]
D If we can recall that everyone D Brings her story on her shoulder D And never means to harm us D When her shrieks are cold and colder D Someone made hеr taste his boot D And wallow in his bile C D We can do it, wе can make it, for a while
[Chorus]
C D For a while, can it almost all make sense? C D For a while, can this endless life feel fine? C D Though the constant implied threat of violence C A Eats away at our precious loving time
[Interlude]
Em A Em G
D
[Verse 3]
D Truth forever on the scaffold D Wrong forever on the throne D Hope forever as false promise D Faith forever stands alone D If in her shoes we'll take that step D That proverbial hard mile C D We can do it, we can make it, for a while C D We can do it, we can make it, for a while
[Outro]
