Intro Bm  F#m7  Em7  G 

            Bm                      F#m7 
Everyday I wake and everything is broken 
                 G                       Em7 
Turning off my phone just to get out of bed 
               Bm                       F#m7 
Get home every evening and history's repeating 
                 G                            Em7 
Turning off my phone 'cause it's hurting my chest 

Hey-hey 

G                           D/F# 
  And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah 
Em7 
    But what can I do? 
D/F#  G                              D/F# 
        I can't see the use in me crying 
                  Em7 
If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see 

Bm I can't sit and hope F#m7 I can't just sit and pray that G Em I can find a love when all I see is pain Bm I'm falling to my knees F#m7 And though I do believe G D/F# I can't just preach, baby, preach Bm F#m7 Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah, oh-oh-oh G D/F# I can't just preach, baby, preach
A/C# Bm F#m7 All I hear is voices, everybody's talkin' G Em7 Nothing real is happenin' 'cause nothing is new Bm F#m7 Now in all this tragic, and I just feel sedated G Em7 Why do I feel numb? Is that all I can do? Yeah G D/F# And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah (uh) Em7 But I'm only human D/F# G D/F# I can't see the use in me crying Em7 If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see
