[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Dm]
[Em][F][Dm][D][C]
[F][G][Dm][D]
[Am]Someone

[Verse 1]
right now is leaving their [E]apartment
Look[F]ing down at the street
and wondering where their [Dm]car went
[E]Someone in a car is sitting at a sig[F]nal
[Dm]In front of a restaurant staring
through the [C]window at
[F]Someone right now with their finger
in their [G]teeth
Who could [Dm]use a little floss,
right across [C]the street
There's [Am]somebody on the curb
who really needs a [E]jacket
But [F]spent half the rent at
a bar getting [Dm]plastered
[E]Now he's gotta walk fourteen [F]blocks
Just to [Dm]work at a shop where he's
about to get [C]fired
[F]Someone right now is looking
pretty [G]tired
[Dm]Staring at a laptop trying to get [C]in spired
As [Am]somebody living right across [E]the street
Just [F]wrote the best thing
that she's written all [Dm]week
But her [Em]best friend's coughing
up blood in the sink
[F]He can't [Dm]even think what happened,
feeling so con[C]fused
And he [F]knows it looks bad
but nothing he can [G]do
I [Dm]wonder what it's like to be
right there in his [Am]shoes but...
Yo, I'm just taking it [F]in Out

[Verse 2]
the window of a hotel
bedroom again
[Dm]Tomorrow [Em]I'll [C]be gone,
I don't know when I'll be back
But [F]in this [Dm]world everything can change
just [C]like that...
[F][G][Dm][Am]

[Verse 3]
Somebody right now
is dropping his [E]vote
Inside [F]a box trying to not get
shot in his [Dm]throat
For [E]the act of freedom,
right now somebody's [F]stuck in Ir[Dm]aq
Hoping that he gets shipped back [C]breathing
In [F]a war but he's not really
sure the reas[G]ons
So [Dm]we show our support when
the press mislead [C]him
Though [Am]we mourn, remain proud,
salute the troops
[E]Get som[F]e, I know you boys
got some work to do
[Dm]Mean

[Verse 4]
[E]while,
right now someone's [F]25-to-life-ing
Standing Standing [Dm]Standing on a corner with
their thumb up hitch[C]hiking
[F]Scratching off a lotto ticket
hoping for a [G]real winner
[Dm]Sneaking through the border just
to work and eat a [C]real dinner
[Am]Right now someone wishes
they were you [E]and I
Instead of [F]second-guessing fatal fatal
thoughts of quiet sui[Dm]cide
[Em]But right now I'm staring out the
window at a [F]fiend
[Dm]With holes in his arm and
holes in his [C]jeans
[F]He pulled out a cigarette
and sparked a light
[G]And walked [Dm]right around the corner
just out [Am]of my sight but...
I'm just taking it [F]in From

[Verse 5]
a second storey hotel window [Dm]again
The [C]TV's on and my bags are packed
[F]But in this wor[Dm]ld everything can[C] change[F]
[G][Dm]
[Am][F]
[Dm][C][F]
[Dm]just like [C]that
[F][G]

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
[Am]Yeah, right now somebody's
sittin' in the [E]darkness
[F]Tryin' to figure how to put some
heat in their [Dm]apartment
[E]But they got a little mattress, little [F]carpet
[Dm]An d they appreciate it 'cause some
people on a [C]park bench
[F]You see 'em rushing to get to the off[G]ice
[Dm]Wife ride by 'em when she
up from the [C]market
[Am]Right now somebody
comin' out the [E]pocket
Try[F]in' to dump that rock they runnin'
round the [Dm]block with
[E]Same time the cops [Em]is raisin' [F]the glock
With [Dm]aim to fill your legs and
your back with some [C]hot shit
[F]Right now somebody's
struggling to [G]stop this man
[Dm]That's kicking and punching
and cussing at the [C]doctors
[Am]Down the hall a child
is takin' its [Em]first breath
The [F]doctors ain't even passed
him [Dm]to the nurse yet
[Em]Yo, I wonder of he understand
what it's [F]worth yet
[Dm]Life, the time spent while we here
on the [C]earth yet
[F]The answers to the questions we all seek
[G]Can be fou[Dm]nd,
it depend on how free y'all think
[Am]Right now, it's somebody who
ain't eat all week
That would [F]kill for the shit you throw
[Dm]away in the street
I guess [Em]one man's trash is
a next man's [F]treasure
[Dm]One man's pain is a next
man's [C]pleasure
[F]One says infinity the next say [G]forever
Right [Dm]now everybody got to
get it together [Am]man
I'm just taking it [F]in In

[Verse 7]
another strange hotel lobby again
[Dm]With my lu[Em]ggage on my ba[C]ck,
I don't know where I'm [F]at
I'm in [Dm]a world where it all
changes just [C]like that
[F]Like that
[G]Yo,

[Verse 8]
[Dm]I'm [Am]just taking it in[F]
Out the window of a hotel
bedroom again
[Dm]Tomor[Em]row I'll [C]be gone,
I don't know when [F]I'll be back
But in this [Dm]world everything can change just [C]like that
