I Dont Want Solidarity If It Means Holding Hands With You

If you want to play this solo on an acoustic, it's always better to use open chords as

as possible. This song is much easier with a capo on 2

CAPO 2!

-- Intro (0:00)

+-- Verse 1 (0:13)

Let's stop this talk of privilege 'cause the

songs that we sing are as much of a product of our privilege as

the clothes on my back, or the

phone call I made to my mom last night

And let's stop this talk of action 'cause

action comes easy it's the moments just before that are hard

when I gotta get my voice and my fist on the

same page as my heart

as my heart

+-- Verse 2 (0:40)

And let's stop this talk of them because

the things we find deplorable in politicians, CEOs, and cops

are the same things that will tear ourselves apart

And let's stop this talk of words because

words like dishonesty, selfishness, and laziness, and greed

aren't as distant to us as we'd

like to believe

to believe

+-- Chorus 1 (1:05)

So please, the next time you're

smashing the state don't go breaking my heart but I

know that when we pick up the pieces the

only thing left will be the same empty rubble that's

made up every revolution that I've ever known to make me

believe and lose faith in humanity in the

same empty breath of hot air

+-- Bridge (1:31)

And they say

that the beauty's in the streets

But when I look around

it seems more like defeat

And I'm afraid that this

fight that we're all caught up in

will make us the same as that

which we oppose

+-- Chorus 2 (1:55)

So please, the next time you're

smashing the state don't go breaking my heart but I

know that we can pick up the pieces

and build something new, something different

that's not like every revolution that I've ever known that can make me

believe and have faith in humanity

and we'll all breathe a breath of fresh air
