Chords

[Intro] Em C G D [Chorus]
                Em
Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky

              C
Happens for a reason but what's the reason why

                  G
It ain't supposed to be that way

                  D
It ain't supposed to be that way

               Em
Weather to the storm lightnin' in the thunder

               C
Did I take the wrong road, I didn't see another

                  G
It ain't supposed to be that way, uh uh

                  D
It ain't supposed to be that way, Struggle, uh
[Verse]
Em
Collect call from department of correction

C
Looking out the window but I see a clear reflection

G
Did I take the wrong direction at the intersection

D
Hear the whispers that I'm different guess it's all perception

Em
Lessons that I learned worth the sacrifices made

C
Dues that I paid paved the way to better days

    G
Now dreams comin' true and this bed that I lay

    D
But I slay so I pray that they stay out of my way

   Em
No hatred in my heart for the friends that up and split

C
Glass half full, Don Julio and guilt

   G
My decisions crumbled walls in the house that I built

   D
Baptized in the puddle can't cry over spilled milk
[Chorus]
                Em
Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky

              C
Happens for a reason but what's the reason why

                  G
It ain't supposed to be that way

                  D
It ain't supposed to be that way

                 Em
Weather thru the storm lightnin' in the thunder

               C
Did I take the wrong road, I didn't see another

                  G
It ain't supposed to be that way

                  D
It ain't supposed to be that way
[Verse]
   Em
My big brother told me go and get it

                C
My mama told me Ramen noodles and ketchup equals spaghetti

  G
I jumped off the porch when I was young and thought I was ready

        D
Put the world on my shoulders pretendin' it wasn't heavy

         Em
Hear the rumble of the thunder I swear to God I feel the lightnin'

C
I've seen it all from closed caskets to sealed indictments

G
The preacher man said heavens real and I'm still invited

D
But meanwhile I still feel this guilt inside me

Em
Take a moment to relax, just to sit back

C
Even on the days that is sunny my city's pitch black

G
Just to go get the paper willin' to pitch a pack

D
Is there a heaven for people that really need that
[Chorus]
                Em
Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky

It ain't supposed to be that way

                  D
It ain't supposed to be that way

                 Em
Weather thru the storm lightnin' in the thunder

               C
Did I take the wrong road, I didn't see another

                  G
It ain't supposed to be that way

                  D
It ain't supposed to be that way
[Verse]
    Em
Uh, I came home with my mind right, feeling stable

C
But now Mondo's gone now, Tata's been disabled

G
Half the homies back in prison other half just livin'

D
Guess I had a different vision that we all be chilin'

Em
Life moves on and takes us different ways

C
We all floatin' in this ocean head above the waves

G
I wanna see your face in more than just in funerals

D
Life is a hard pill to swallow homie but is true
[Chorus]
