I took the needle out of my arm about
A#          F
A year ago today,
F                                  A
And every day since then I've been taking
A#                    C
The needle out of my brain.
A#                              C
So when I'm staring down at my hands I can't explain
     A                            A#
Just what it is that I'm thinking of,
                             C                        F
Except thank god that all my veins have to pump is my blood.

F                     A
I've done you so much wrong I can't believe
A#               F
You would still talk to me.
F                          A
And I say so much bullshit I can't believe
A#                         C
That anyone around me can breathe.
A#                         C
I know that it's a little dramatic,
    A                            A#
But the word for not changing is “dead.”
                          C                                   F                       
So I'm getting better, my friends, but please don't hold your breath.

F              A
I met a man in rehab the first time,
A#               F
An organizer in prison.
F                            A
He lived in Chicago when the cops shot Fred Hampton,
A#                          C
But he was just a kid back then.
A#                         C
Justice doesn't flow from police guns,
    A                        A#
I'm reminded of that all the time.
                      C                    F
As long as there is a law, peace will be a crime.

F                   A
What the news calls economics,
A#               F
I still call it violence.
F                A
If your god is a judge or a jailer,
A#               C
I'm still an atheist.
A#                              C
But I try to have faith in the things that will happen;
A                       A#
I get saved from myself when i do.
                               C                      F
So maybe “god” isn't the right word, but I believe in you.
