[Verse 1]
[Am]Hi. I'm sorry I'm late.
It was my [Dm]night to [Am]take inventory.[Em]
What's wrong?
You [Am]crying?
Oh, you folks be on your [Em]back again,
[Am]huh?
Man,
this stuff [Em]is getting ridiculous.[Am]
[Em]What was [Am]it this time?
Oh, they [Dm]heard that [Am]you[Em]
were with me again, [Am]huh?
And why don't they [Dm]leave us
[Am]alone?[Em][Am]
Well, they've [Em]cut off your lines t[Am]oo.
[Em]Well, I [Ebdim]can't tell you [Am]to stop
crying because I [F]know you're [Am]hurt.
I [Dm]know it's [Em]hard for them to understand that two
people [Am]like us can love [Em]each other.
They seem to forget [Am]that once upon a time
they were young and they had to [Em]fall in love [Am]too.
Well, come on,
stop crying [Em]now.[Am]
Something else I got to tell you,
I [Em]got my greetings the o[Am]ther day, but I got my papers
from
[Em]Uncle
Sam, and I went down, you [Am]know,
and I got to go about an[Em]other two weeks, [Am]but
Like wherever I go, [Em]I'll always remember that I love
[Am]you and there'll be [Em]no one else but [Am]you.
And I'll [Em]be back.
Some way I'll [Am]be back.
And I [Em]don't have any doubt about
you being true to me.
[Am]Cause like right now it seems like[F] the whole world is against us,[Em]
[Am]so like try to study,
[Em]you know, keep your [Am]grades, you know, together,
and [Em]like, come on now, don't [Am]cry.
You know, [Em]people like us always seem to have it hard,
[Am]you know, I'm not good enough for
[Em]you, or they don't understand,
[Am]but we're not the only ones going through changes like this,
people [Em]all over the world being denied and discrim[Am]inated,
you know, [Em]it's always messed
[Am]up situations, socially, racially, you know,
[Em]but whenever things get extremely [Am]bad, always
remem[Em]ber that I love you, [Am]and I will be back,
[Em]an d please, for a[Am]ll people like us, that go
through changes [Em]like this.
These words in this song [Am]is
for you and it's like this.
