[Intro: ]
Am Dsus2 Fmaj7 G
 
Is it getting better
Am
 
Or do you feel the same
Dsus2
 
Will it make it easier on you
Fmaj7
 
Now you got someone to blame
G
 
You say
 
One love
C
 
One life
Am
 
When it's one need
Fmaj7
 
In the night
C
 
It's one love
C
 
We get to share it
Am
 
It leaves you baby
Fmaj7
 
If you don't care for it
C Am Dsus2 Fmaj7 G
 
(Rest of song continues the same way until otherwise written)
 
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
 
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
 
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
 
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
 
Love is a temple
C
 
Love a higher law
Am
 
Love is a temple
C
 
Love the higher law
Am
 
You ask me to enter
C
 
But then you make me crawl
G
 
And I can't be holding on
 
To what you got
Fmaj7
 
When all you got is hurt
 
One love
C
 
One blood
Am
 
One life
Fmaj7
 
You got to do what you should
C
 
(Rest of song continues as verse above)
 
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
 
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
 
One
 
One.
