Verse 1
(A minor) Hi. I'm sorry I'm late.
It was my (D minor) night to (A minor) take inventory. (E minor)
What's wrong?
You crying? (A minor)
Oh, you folks be on your (E minor) back again,
huh? (A minor)
Man,
this stuff is getting ridiculous. (E minor) (A minor)
(E minor) What was it this time? (A minor)
Oh, they (D minor) heard that (A minor) you (E minor)
were with me again, huh? (A minor)
And why don't they (D minor) leave us
alone? (A minor) (E minor) (A minor)
Well, they've (E minor) cut off your lines too. (A minor)
Well, (E minor) I (E flatdim) can't tell you (A minor) to stop
crying because I (F major) know you're hurt. (A minor)
I (D minor) know it's (E minor) hard for them to understand that two
people (A minor) like us can love each other. (E minor)
They seem to forget (A minor) that once upon a time
they were young and they had to (E minor) fall in love too. (A minor)
Well, come on,
stop crying (E minor) now. (A minor)
Something else I got to tell you,
I got (E minor) my greetings the (A minor) other day, but I got my papers
from
(E minor) Uncle
Sam, and I went down, you (A minor) know,
and I got to go about an (E minor) other two weeks, but (A minor)
Like wherever I go, I'll (E minor) always remember that I love
(A minor) you and there'll be (E minor) no one else but you. (A minor)
And I'll be back. (E minor)
Some way I'll be back. (A minor)
And I don't (E minor) have any doubt about
you being true to me.
(A minor) Cause like right now it seems (F major) like the whole world is against (E minor) us,
so (A minor) like try to study,
(E minor) you know, keep your (A minor) grades, you know, together,
and (E minor) like, come on now, don't cry. (A minor)
You know, (E minor) people like us always seem to have it hard,
you (A minor) know, I'm not good enough for
you, (E minor) or they don't understand,
(A minor) but we're not the only ones going through changes like this,
people (E minor) all over the world being denied and discrim (A minor) inated,
you know, it's (E minor) always messed
up situations, (A minor) socially, racially, you know,
but (E minor) whenever things get extremely (A minor) bad, always
remem (E minor) ber that I love you, (A minor) and I will be back,
an (E minor) d please, for (A minor) all people like us, that go
through changes like this. (E minor)
These words in this song is (A minor)
for you and it's like this.
