The Ballad of G and X

Verse 1:
Ab              G                                  Ab
I talk to X, he tell me that he's always watching
                G                                  Ab
He put a hex up on my soul to keep me locked in
                  G                                  Ab
I keep on looking at the world like I'm an optimist
                     G                                         Ab
He says we can't go back, there ain't no way of stopping this
                      G                                 Ab
I say the truth will always make it through the winter
                  G                                 Ab      G
He tells me history is written by the victor, it's poison
             Ab      G
(Yeah, it's poison)
Ab                Ab                                   Ab
I wanna live for something, I wanna die for something
                     G                                    Ab
He makes me cry for nothing, says that I'm a dime a dozen
                   G                                     Ab
I wanna write the song to help you start the revolution
                  G                               Ab      G
He wanna see you next to me in public execution, poison
             Ab     G
(Yeah, it's poison)
 
Chorus:
      Fm    Cm              Eb
And I watch these birds fly
G                     Ab     G        Ab   G
And I cry, "Why can't I? Why can't I?"
      Fm    Cm              Eb
And I watch these birds fly
G                     Ab     G        Ab   G
And I cry, "Why can't I? Why can't I?"
 
 
Verse 2:
Ab              G                                      Ab
I wanna be the change, I try to make my feelings vocal
                   G                                        Ab
He's in my head, he makes me sick, he makes me antisocial
                G                                     Ab
I try to do my part, I vote, I sign all the petitions
                        G                                       Ab
He tells me that there ain't no way that I'ma make a difference
                   G                                 Ab
Losing my mind, I wanna find a way to keep composure
                     G                                    Ab
He gets me high, he tell me lies, I think he's taking over
                   G                                 Ab
I try to close my eyes, I'm haunted in my nightmares
     Ab              Ab           Ab                 Ab
I'm quite scared, I look to the left and I find him right there
       Ab     G
It's poison
             Ab      G
(Yeah, it's poison)
 
Chorus:
       Fm   Cm             Eb
And I watch these birds fly
 G                    Ab   G           Ab  G
And I cry, "Why can't I? Why can't I?"
       Fm    Cm            Eb
And I watch these birds fly
 G                    Ab    G
And I cry, "Why can't I? Why can't I?"
