Verse 1
(A minor) (D minor) (A minor) (B flat minor) (F major) (A minor) (F major)
In the muddy water,
we're falling in (A minor) the muddy water
In the (F major) (A minor) muddy water,
we're falling in the muddy water
Hold me down, hold me now,
(E flat minor) (A minor) (B flat minor) sort me (F major) out (D minor) (A minor) (D minor)
(E flat minor) (B flat minor) (A minor) (F major) (A minor)
Crawlin' (D minor) in the muddy water
(A minor) Crawl (B flat minor) (A minor) (F major) (A minor) in' (C major) (A minor)
(D minor) in the muddy wa (A minor) ter
Hold me (F major) down now
(C major) Hold (A minor) me down (D minor) now
(A minor) Throw me (F major) out now
And (A minor) I hate, (C major) hate
(F major) I know (A minor) people who hug and smile
Whenever I (F major) come around
They're (D minor) the (C major) same ones
who hope and pray
That the (D minor) ship falls down
Worse than the (A minor) ones that only hate me
Cause my skin tone's (F major) brown
They're the ones standing
there with (C major) a lightsaber
Just watching (D minor) me drown
People (A minor) fighting for clean water
Were arguing (F major) over Twitter
I'm guilty (D minor) by association
They (A minor) say I was born (D minor) a sinner
Then wipe (A minor) their feet on my smile
And ask me why (F major) I'm so bitter
Adding (D minor) salt to the (A minor) wound
A woman's (D minor) skin must be thicker
Makes me (A minor) sicker
Cause it's clear that we pass
(F major) it down to our children
Every (A minor) day they're absorbing
whatever signals we send
And I'm not claiming to be flawless
Every (F major) day I ask forgiveness
Absorb (A minor) me of (F major) my convic (A minor) tions
Take me down (D minor) to the river
and just (A minor) (B flat minor) (A minor) (F major)
Falling (A minor) in the muddy water
(C major) Fall (A minor) ing (D minor) in the muddy water
(A minor) Crawlin' (B flat minor) (A minor) (F major) (A minor) the
muddy wa (C major) ter
Crawl (D minor) in' in the muddy water
Hold (A minor) me down (F major) now
(A minor) Hold me (D minor) down now
(A minor) Throw me (F major) out now
(A minor) Now, now, now
(D minor) In the eye (A minor) of the fire
Pathway not clear
(F major) Why it's what I've chosen
Confess (C major) each day I'm conflicted
Reminded (D minor) of words unspoken
Reminded (A minor) of vows unbroken
in the steps (F major) that follow behind.
Know that (C major) I am not the only,
not the (D minor) last of my kind.
I walk (A minor) the line, baptized blindly in trial
(F major) and error and quicksand,
a vessel (C major) along this (A minor) journey.
(C major) Did not (D minor) choose my own direction.
Holds (A minor) me down, hold me now,
come to you begging for (F major) mercy.
Put your arms (D minor) around me
and pull me out and tell
me that I am worthy.
Along (A minor) the path to your calling,
lesser (D minor) people (F major) will hate you,
curse (D minor) you,
because (A minor) you don't live in a way
(F major) that lines with their virtues.
Snatched (A minor) from the arms of mothers,
(F major) auctioned and sold our brothers
And turn (A minor) the blind eye away
as we fall in the muddy water
We just Ho! Ho! (F major) Ho! (A minor) Ho! Ho! Ho!
Crawling (D minor) in the muddy water (A minor)
Ho! Ho! (F major) Ho! (A minor) Ho! (C major)
(D minor) Crawling in the muddy water
Hold (A minor) (B flat minor) me (A minor) down (F major) now
(A minor) Hold (D minor) me (A minor) down (D minor) now
(A minor) Throw me (F major) out now (A minor) (C major) (F major) (D minor)
(A minor) It's scary because to (F major) shoot
rubber bullets
at these people
that are com (A minor) pletely unarmed
when they (D minor) took oath to protect them. (A minor)
(F major) We have to use our phones
(A minor) to just (D minor) show our (A minor) side (D minor) of our story.
(A minor) Put your weapons down! (F major)
Satellite image tonight (D minor) showing
Maria's massive size (A minor)
dwarfing (F major) the island,
no part of it was (A minor) spared. (F major)
So we have the poisoned and poor
taking care of the poisoned (A minor) and poor. (D minor) (D minor) (A minor) (F major)
(A minor) (C major) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor)
(F major) (A minor) (C major) (A minor)
(F major) (D minor) (A minor)
(F major)
Now, now, now
Outro 1
Fallin' in the money water
(A minor) (F major)
(A minor)
