Verse 1:
E
How can they say
there is one way when
B
it’s the opposite?
A
And how can they know
E
the end of the story
B
before I tell it?
cause when I
E
walk your feet
they fall to
B
the same beat
A
Or maybe we’re from
E
two different worlds
B
But we got our own language
Refrain 1:

they never understand
B
They think we’re crazy
cause it sounds like laws

Verse 2:
E
We used to live
like we were strangers
B
We didn’t know any better
A
We didn’t fit in
E
with the outer crowd
B
So we gave in and
we shut our mouths
E
But oh how I love your
B
history and I can take it
A
And when you talk in
E B
code to me I can translate it
Refrain 2:
A
We talk to people but

you sit and listen?
