You by James Arthur feat. Travis Barker
You
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: Am
[Intro]
Am
Fighting, living, dying
Am
For what? For freedom
Am
That's what which men have fought since time began
To be free
[Verse 1]
Am
They've been making blanked statements, scaring everyone
Am
They've been making you feel like you never did belong
F
Yeah, he said, and she said, yeah, they say a lot
F
So many things, they just think you forgot
Am
Who you are, and what you do, and where you're coming from
Am
I just thought I could remind you with a simple song
F
Look at body language, can start to rebuff
F
To where we're using weapons, hatred, not love
G
Not you
[Chorus]
F Dm
You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
Am
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
G
I knew you always would
F
They were throwing sticks and stones
Dm
Words can never break your bones
Am
You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
G
I knew you always would
F Dm
I knew you always would
F Dm
I knew there always was nothing wrong with being
Am
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
[Verse 2]
Am
All you ever see on CNN are enemies
Am
Telling you to lose your individuality
F
Look, do this and do that, 'till you've lost your way
F
'Till you need to fight or a means of escape
Am
They want you to stare into your screen and see yourself
Am
Blow smoke into your mirror till you imagine your own world
F
So don't let them catch you with lies and deceit
F G
They can't take your soul or your desire for freedom
[Chorus]
F Dm
You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
Am
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
G
I knew you always would
F
They were throwing sticks and stones
Dm
Words can never break your bones
Am
You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
G
I knew you always would
F Dm
I knew you always would
F Dm
I knew there always was nothing wrong with being (yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
Am
You said I wanna be
F
I'm gonna be everything they said I couldn't be
Am Am
Everything that I said I would be when I picked up a pen and I started to speak
F
I hear the beat
My melody
F
I just pour all my heart into these sheets
F
I cannot just be a star in the streets
F
Man, I knew what was different, I had that belief
F
Nowhere to live, nothing to eat
F
You were so hungry that you couldn't sleep
Dm
You couldn't breathe
I couldn't be
Dm
All of this shit was happ'nin' to me
F
I would do drugs, I was a thief
F
Still on the run from the karma police
Am Am
You were the mission that was given to me by the powers to be
[Post-Bridge]
F Dm
You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
Am
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
G
I knew you always would
[Chorus]
F Dm
You are in the wilderness, looking for your own purpose
Am
And you became a butterfly, a butterfly
G
I knew you always would
F
They were throwing sticks and stones
Dm
Words can never break your bones
Am
You can spread your wings and fly, wings and fly
G
I knew you always would
F Dm
I knew you always would
F Dm
I knew you always would
F Dm
I knew there always was nothing wrong with being
Am
You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
