I sat in the sun one day.
C
I sat in the sun one day.
Am          G             F
daydremaing my way out of here
C
on her behalf.

[verse 2]
C
it's time to illuminate
C
I need to illuminate
Am         G             F
people get killed on our behalf, I can't
C
coope with that.

[chorus]
Am                    G                F           C
though some put their faith before the whole human race 
Am         G            C
leaving us hanging by a thread
Am    G                  F          C     
I was born with just one book in my hand
Am    G              C
pages blank i take a stand.

[verse 3]
C
someone's in my arms now
C
got heaven in my arms now
Am       G             F
slowly I rise from the abyss
C
on her behalf

[chorus]
Am              G               F        C         
if you put your race before her heavenly face
Am          G            C 
I leave you hanging by a thread
Am     G                  F           C
She is born with just one book in her hands
Am    G              C
pages blank I take a stand

[bridge]
(play C for a while then F and C)

[chorus]
Am             G               F        C
If you put you race before her innocent face
Am          G            C
I leave you hanging by a thread
Am   G                  F          C     
I am born with just one book in my hand
Am    G              C
pages blank i take a stand   

[bridge 2]
         Am  G  F  C
I take a stand

Am  G  F  C
       
       Am  G   F  C  
take a stand

Am  G  C
