[E]And if I'm not, Lord forgive [D]me, you can have the regrets
[Bm]'Cause I can feel the water [F#m]tryna go up over my head
[E]Most of my life, I always [D]felt like I was holdin' my breath

[E]Change
[D]It's somethin' that I [Bm]know I should do

[E]Why are [D]they always defiant?
[Bm]See, all my [F#m]emotions are liars
[E]All my [D]emotions are violent
[Bm]They don't want [F#m]freedom to find me
[E]Mention a name [D]and everybody riots (change)
[Bm]Yeah, that's why [F#m]I'm checkin' my vitals
[E]They keep on [D]workin', but I know
[Bm]Breathin' don't mean [F#m]you're alive, so
[E]I bag up all of my [D]trash and walk out on my tightrope
[Bm]Positive thoughts are [F#m]my rivals (change)
[E]I'm tryna be [D]on their side though
[Bm]Should I feel [F#m]comfortable? I don't
