[Intro]
Am D E C Bm x2
[Verse]
Am D
It's the American dream
E C Bm Am
But if you pull on the thread, it's gonna tear at the seam
D E
See what I mean? We don't tend to scream
C Bm
Baby, we just stare at the screen
Am D
Like it's a preacherman up at the pulpit
E C Bm
Some with the scars end up holding the bullwhip
Am D
Another angry kid unloading a full clip
E C Bm
And I could tie a pretty bow on this bullshit
Am D
But let's not lie for another second
E C
We see the trouble, we're rubberneckin
Bm Am D
No doublecheckin, if it's an issue we have to grapple
E C Bm
The words are caught in my Adam's apple
Am D
I make my body a happy chapel
E C Bm
Cause every person's a tabernacle
Am D
But there's no feeling you gotta hide
E C Bm
So let's all pray to the Bmod inside, say it now
[Chorus]
D Am
Never needed a hand til you needed a hand
F Bm
You never know how to walk until you understand
D Am
Coulda been anything that you needed to be
F Bm
How many more do you want? How many more do you need?
Am D E C Bm
Still I wish I could break free
Am D E C Bm
It’s that same old simple song I still believe
Am D E C Bm
How many more do we need?
Am D
Before it’s hand over hand
E C Bm
Love over everything
[Verse]
Am D
That’s me with the long arm
E C Bm
Screaming at the top dog, spilling my blood on the cement
Am D E
We willing to roll now, sick of getting mowed down
C Bm
Fuck if I dope now, it’d kill me
Am D
Cause I’d rather be known for the dealing
E C Bm
Than known to be hooked on the feeling
Am D E C Bm
How many more gotta go now? How many more gotta go down?
Am D E C
I’ll stand in the rain witcha, just to get a little bit of glimpse of the plain picture
Bm Am D
People need a pinch just to get em to wake up
E C Bm
You’ll be in a ditch before I get you to wake up, say it bruh
Am D E C Bm
Whoever said it wasn’t fair, they was telling the truth
Am D E C Bm
I’d be a liar if I said there was nothing to prove
[Chorus]
D Am
Never needed a hand til you needed a hand
F Bm
You never know how to walk until you understand
D Am
Coulda been anything that you needed to be
F Bm
How many more do you want? How many more do you need?
Am D E C Bm
Still I wish I could break free
Am D E C Bm
It’s that same old simple song I still believe
Am D E C Bm
How many more do we need?
Am D
Before it’s hand over hand
E C Bm
Love over everything
[Verse]
Am D
They say we gotta know our role
E C Bm
Kiss the bottom of the totem pole
Am D
Set goals, and then go for gold
E C Bm
But we hibernate and hide inside our gopher holes
Am D
I wanna smoke a bowl, a hand on my dick
E C Bm
While the other one is busy clicking the remote control
Am D E
I'm no Dalai Lama of the sofa but I hear I gotta go to
C Bm
Where the sinners face the roasting coals
Am D
You say that your heart ain't got no holes, well bitch please
E C Bm
Let's all admit that we got souls like Swiss cheese
Am D
But wishing isn't gonna fill this abyss
E C Bm
And no hand over hand over fisted riches is fixin what's missing
Am D
If I wanna kill this monotony
E C Bm
I know the answer is a light that I got in me
Am D
I got no university degree in philosophy
E C Bm
But I know that every baby's born with the lock and key, say it now
[Chorus]
D Am
Never needed a hand til you needed a hand
F Bm
You never know how to walk until you understand
D Am
Coulda been anything that you needed to be
F Bm
How many more do you want? How many more do you need?
Am D E C Bm
Still I wish I could break free
Am D E C Bm
It’s that same old simple song I still believe
Am D E C Bm
How many more do we need?
Am D
Before it’s hand over hand
E C Bm
Love over everything
