Chorus:
G       D            A   Bm         G
Get out of your own way, hah ah ah ha-ah
G       D            A
Get out of your own way, hah ah ah ha-ah

 G          D                                A
Love hurts now you look out who's left with no words
      Bm                        G
Your heart's a balloon but then it bursts
    D                             A
It doesn't take a cannon just to pin your skin's not covering and
   G         D                              A           Bm
Resistance, love has got to fight for its existence the enemy has armies for
   G            D                           A
Assistance, the amourist the glamorous the kiss a fist listen to this oh

Chorus

G                           D
I could sing it to you you all night all night
A                       Bm
If I could I'd make it alright alright
G                         D
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
A
I can help you but it's your fight your fight

 G                 D                             A
Fight back, don't take it lyin' down you got to bite back
    Bm                            G
The face of liberty's starting to-o crack
     D                              A
She had a plan up until she got a smack in the mouth,
and it all went south like
  G             D                                A
Freedom these slaves are looking for someone to lead them
     Bm                              G
The master's looking for someone to need him
      D                                    A
The promised land is there for those who need
it most and Lincoln's ghost said

Chorus

I could sing it to you you all night all night
If I could I'd make it alright alright
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
I can help you but it's your fight your fight

G        D            A   Bm
 Get out of your own wa-ay
G        D            A
 Get out of your own wa-ay

Chorus:
G       D            A   Bm
Get out of your own wa-ay
G       D            A   Bm
Get out of your own wa-ay
G       D            A   Bm
Get out of your own wa-ay

Blessed are the arrogant
For there is the kingdom of their own company
Blessed are the superstars
For the magnificence in their light
We understand better our own insignificance
Blessed are the filthy rich
For you can only truly own what you give away
Like your pain
