[Intro] Em D Em C Em D Em
  Em                              D
I’m not saying that I’ve got it all figured out

            Em
I’m just saying that most people

               C
Seem to be without a doubt

      Em                              D
So scared to death of what they just don’t understand

                Em                            C
You know they been doing that one since the dawning of man

              Em                          D
If you need the union of marriage that the bible portrays

    Em                         C
It’s after the part permitting human enslavement

    Em
People always need other people to hate

    Em
It’s the evil that the human mind creates

                C                         D
But we can’t go on pretending that we’re strong

                      Em
Pretending that we’re better than everyone

                C                 D
And don’t blame God for your own hatred

                  Em
That you direct unto his children, that’s you alone

 Em
One love, one love

 D
That’s what you’re telling me

  Em
Except for “them,” never “them,”

 C
They’re not your “family.”

  Em
That’s the same old story

   D
The same old ideology:

 Em      C
1492. 1861. 2014

 Em                           D                   Em
And then you blame it on the bible and the pages written by who knows who

       C                     Em
Then loosely got translated to 50 languages

         D                       Em                     Em
Now everyone’s “tradition” is hatred, loosely translated

             C                       D
We can’t go on pretending that we’re strong

                      Em
Pretending that we’re better then everyone

             C                D
Don’t blame god for your own hatred

               Em
That you direct unto his children, that’s you alone

          C                             D
We can’t go on pretending that we’re strong

                      Em
Pretending that we’re better then everyone

             C                D
Don’t blame god for your own hatred

                              Em
That you keep right in your heart there

                                                  C         
And you love it, and what would you do without it?

   Em
Pick up your hatred and find it in the pages

    C                          D
And then translate it to look just like you made it

     Em
And change the faces to look like your faces

    C
And you can change the names

    D                             Em
To fit into your translation of “one.”
