[Verse 1]
Em F
On a cold and winter day
Em C
they gathered in their seats
Em F
to verify what people said
C Em
or challenge his defeat.
[Verse 2]
Em F
He said let's march on through the streets
Em C
he said it would be wild
Em F
and though he was not there with them
C Em
into the peoples house they piled
G G7
[Chorus]
D
What the world saw
C G
Are the wounds that are raw
D C
A na---tion off its wheels
D
We’re not red; we’re not blue
C G
But what are we to do?
D C
Might be a good time to heal
D Em
Might be a good time to heal
[Verse 3]
Em F
They yelled and screamed with no regard
Em C
to show that they were proud
Em F
said, “Stop the steal! This isn't fair!”
C Em
and that's when things got loud
[Verse 4]
Em F
Weapons drawn and breaking glass
Em C
a terrifying sight
Em F
Then shots rang out —a woman down
C Em
still thinking that they're right
G G7
[Chorus]
D
What the world saw
C G
Are the wounds that are raw
D C
A na---tion off its wheels
D
We’re not red; we’re not blue
C G
But what are we to do?
D C
Might be a good time to heal
D Em
Might be a good time to heal
[Verse 5]
Em F
One in her chair feet on her desk
Em C
as if it were his throne
Em F
vandalizing claiming fraud
C Em
and hatred in their bones
[Verse 6]
Pushing over barricades
Em C
to show that they were strong
Insurrection everywhere
C Em
this Civil War is wrong
G G7
[Chorus]
D
What the world saw
C G
Are the wounds that are raw
D C
A na---tion off its wheels
D
We’re not red; we’re not blue
C G
But what are we to do?
D C
Might be a good time to heal
D Em
Might be a good time to heal
[Verse 7]
Em F
the troops arrived no weapons drawn
Em C
he finally said go home
Em F
the people watched in disbelief
C Em
and chills within their bones
[Verse 8]
Em F
they cleared the streets with gas and force
Em C
then it started to calm down
Em F
at 6 o'clock they had to go
C Em
the city was shut down
[Chorus]
D
What the world saw
C G
Are the wounds that are raw
D C
A na---tion off its wheels
D
We’re not red; we’re not blue
C G
But what are we to do?
D C
Might be a good time to heal
D Em
Might be a good time to heal
[Verse 9]
Em F
they reconvened and verified
Em C
they vowed their minds would meet
Em F
they reconciled their differences
C Em
the vote was now complete
G G7
[Verse 10]
Em F
with sadness washing over me
Em C
still searching for the light
Em F
I pray somehow we’ll heal this land
C Em
and in our hearts unite
[Outro]
Em F
I pray somehow we’ll heal this land
C Em
and in our hearts unite
