C                           E 
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 
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 
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 
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.
