Chorus:
Gm           F/A         A#
Hoping for a life more sweeter
   Gm               F/A     A#
Instead I'm just a story repeating
D#maj7    Dm        Cm
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
D#maj7      Dm          Cm
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes

    Gm                          F/A    A#
I thought we moved on from the darker days
                      Gm     F/A            A#
Did the words of the King disappear in the air
Like a butterfly?
   D#maj7                   Dm Cm
Somebody should hand you a felony
             D#maj7 Dm Cm
Because you stole from me
My chance to be

Chorus

     Gm         F/A     A#    G/B Cm
The tears of my mother rain, rain over me
    Gm              F/A     A#    G/B Cm
My sisters and my brothers sing, sing over me
      Gm F/A  A# G/B Cm
And I wish I had another day,
Gm F/A          A#        G/B Cm
but it's just another day

Chorus

Hoping for a life more sweeter
