E B A E
Well I'll lock myself inside your head
B A E
Try to understand what you felt
B
When you were tied down to the table
A
And your eyes filled up with anger
E
And you couldn't speak
B
On some meds I can't pronounce
A
And all the evil you denounced
E
But wouldn't leave
( B A E )
B A E
Well I can't walk a mile in your shoes
B A E
But there ain't a goddamn thing I wouldn't do
B
To take a portion of your pain
A E
And break off all the bounding chains so you can stand
B
Taller than you ever have
A E
And feel the weight fall off your back and hands
[Refrão]

Well it was 18 years till it showed up
B A E
Held an arrow to your mind and throat
B
And the people all around you
A E
The ones you gave your all to didn't understand
B A
But it's crazy that you kept the faith cause surely that would
E
Bend or break any man
