[Verse 1]
D G
Late at night I'm wide-eyed looking out my hotel window at the cars,
D G
whilst flicking through my phone I find old videos of when I played the local bars.
D G
From festivals to sell-out tours, believe me, I was never sure I'd get this far,
D G
it's more than I was hoping for and though there's still no open door it's forced ajar.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em D
Still, I'm not a thing without the people as they scream and shout,
G A A***
rid my mind of any doubt and inspire what I write about.
[Chorus]
D D
So, I stand up for the cause until I'm kicking down the door,
D D
using what I say to make a better day.
D D
And I stand up for the people 'cause everybody's equal,
D D***
giving them a way to have a better day.
[Verse 2]
D G
And next door there's a union man noting down his points upon the pages,
D G
this fella's nearly killed himself, puts members before health to get them fairer wages.
D G
Arguing the tubes, the man's now speaking on the news, he's moving up the stages
D G
in a world that really stinks I think he could have been a leader for the ages.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em D
Still, his comrades holding signs, standing on their picket lines,
G A A***
they're the ones who'll make him shine and help him beat managed decline.
[Chorus]
D D
So, I stand up for the cause until I'm kicking down the door,
D D
using what I say to make a better day.
D D
And I stand up for the people 'cause everybody's equal,
D D***
giving them a way to have a better day.
[Verse 3]
D G
Across the road a volunteer leaves to work her local funded centre
D G
where people go to ease their woes, the lady stands to greet them as they leave and
enter.
D G
Their stories make her cry but the woman really tries to be a grievance bender
D G
and after every session smiles she feels she's taught a lesson and she's glad she went
there.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Em D
That's a place she wouldn't be if funding from community
G A A
was alien to you and me, thank God there's still some empathy.
[Chorus]
D D
That's why I stand up for the cause until I'm kicking down the door,
D D
using what I say to make a better day.
D D
And I stand up for the people 'cause everybody's equal,
D D
giving them a way to have a better day.
[Chorus]
D D
That's why I stand up for the cause until I'm kicking down the door,
D D
using what I say to make a better day.
D D
And I stand up for the people 'cause everybody's equal,
D D
giving them a way to have a better day.
[End-Chorus]
D D
Stand up for the cause until you're kicking down the door,
D D
using what you say to have a better day.
D D
And stand up for the people 'cause everybody's equal,
D D* D* D*
giving them a way to have a better day,
D* D* D* D* D* D* D* D* D*
better day, better day, better day.
