Get out of your own way, hey, hey
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, hey, hey
Verse
F
Love hurts
C
Now you're the girl who's left with no words
F
Your heart's a balloon, but then it bursts
C
It doesn't take a cannon, just a pin
C
Your skin's not covering
F
And resistance
C
Love has got to fight for its existence
F
The enemy has armies for assistance
C
The amorist, the glamorous, the kiss
C
A fist, listen to this, oh
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, oh, I
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, oh, I
Post-Chorus
F C
I could sing it to you all night, all night
G C
If I could, I'd make it alright, alright
F C
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
G N.C.
I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight
Verse
F
Fight back
C
Don't take it lyin' down, you got to bite back
F
The face of liberty's starting to crack
C
She had a plan up until she got smacked in the mouth
C
And it all went south
F
Like freedom
C
The slaves are lookin' for someone to lead them
F
The master's lookin' for someone to need him
C
The promised land is there for those who need it most
C
And Lincoln's ghost said...
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, oh, I
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, oh, I
Post-Chorus

I could sing it to you all night, all night

If I could, I'd make it alright, alright

Am
Blessed are the arrogant

For there is the kingdom of their own company

Blessed are the superstars

We understand better our own insignificance

For you can only truly own what you give away

Like your pain
