Somebody's gonna wave a flag
        G#m
Somebody's going to attack
         C#m
Somebody will tell you to pick a side
          E
Tell you their version of wrong or right
    B
Somebody's gonna let you in
         G#m
Judged on the color of your skin
         C#m
Slam a door in the face of your friend
           E
Simply because you don't look like him
G#m
And then you gotta find a way that you're wakin'
        
Everybody's walkin'
C#m
You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'
                  E
Everybody's talkin'
B     D#m              G#m
So I built the wars into a song
 C#m                  E       B
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
               D#m      G#m
And even if some notes are wrong
C#m                  E      B
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
B       D#m
'cause just one voice is not enough
G#m     C#m
I need to hear from everyone
B                          D#m   G#m
And even when I'm dead and gone
             C#m       E       B
I'm hopin' someone's singing along

Somebody's gonna build a wall
                       G#m
Then smash it with a cannon ball
                        C#m
Someone who somehow has got a gun
                                 E
Will tell you who you can't and you can love
                    B
Some people keeping all the cash
            G#m
They're gonna get away with that
                  C#m
Just 'cause some people don't think like me
                             E  B
Does that really make them the enemy?
G#m
And then you gotta find a way that you're wakin'

Everybody's walkin'

You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'

Everybody's talkin'

Make a noise, I can hear you now
        D#m
Won't you raise your voice just a little louder
        G#m
