 [VERSE ONE]
 G
 America's on fire
 G
 There's protests in the street
 C
 Her conscience has been looted
 C
 And her soul is under siege
  Am                        C
 Another mother's crying, as history repeats
             G
 I can't breathe
 
 [VERSE TWO]
 G
 God damn those  long minutes
 G
 Lying face down in cuffs on the ground
 C
 Bystanders pleaded for mercy
 C
 As one, cop shoved a kid in the crowd
 Am
 When did a judge and a jury
 C
 Become a badge and a knee
           G
 On these streets?

  C            G
 Stay alive, stay alive
 Am              G
 Shine a light, stay alive
  Em                  G            C
 Use your voice and you remember me
  C            G
 American reckoning
 
 [VERSE THREE]
  G
 I'll never know what it's like
  G
 To walk a mile in his shoes
  C
 And I'll never have to have the talk
  C
 So it don't happen to you
  Am
 Three little words written 'cross the chest
        C
 Of a twelve year old who hasn't lived life yet
        G
 "Am I next? Am I next?"

 [BRIDGE]
 G
 Is this a moment or movement?
 G
 Is this the tide or a flood?

 Is our American reckoning?

 Our story written in blood

 Or in love
        C   G
 Or in peace

 Use your voice and you remember me

                  G
 In our American reckoning
