Verse 1:

G                             Gdim             Bbdim
  Whittled me down 'til I was kindling for the fire
G                                   Gdim      Bbdim
  'Cause I might've found out for myself in a while

Chorus 1:

G
Round and round it goes
Gdim
Soon it comes to blows
G
School house crushed the kid
Gdim                  D  D7/C Bm7 Am6
Snuff his will to flower
Em                  Eb
   But now that the answer has
     G             Gdim    C7  (Gdim)
Been offered oh so eloquently

Verse 1:

G                              Gdim          Bbdim
  Pummeled you hard 'til you began to settle in
G                                Gdim        Bbdim
  By the end of the day even they took you as one of them


Chorus 2:

G
Round and round it goes
Gdim
Soon it comes to blows
G
You know in the streets below the
Gdim                  D  D7/C Bm7 Am6
High rise is the ghetto
Em              Eb
   Now that the answer has
     G             Gdim    C7  (Gdim)
Been offered oh so eloquently

Verse 3:

G                                      Gdim        Bbdim
  Speaker of the house I'll never be as powerful as you
G                                    Gdim             Bbdim
  As I've only known the humble work that which these hands can do

Chorus 3:

G
Soon it comes to blows
Gdim
In this moment fragile
G
Unearthing Wade and Roe while in
Gdim
The inner city it's a battle
   G
Creation Myth and gun control
Gdim
Are all up for grabs and on the mantel
          G
It hits a little too close to home for most
        Gdim                                   D  D7/C Bm7 Am6
I can't turn it around but I can turn the channel
