[D] [A] [Bm] [G] [D] [A] [Bm] [G]
[D]And it’s a sad picture, [A]the final blow hits you
[Bm]Somebody else gets what you [G]wanted again
[D]You know it’s all the same, [A]another time and place
[Bm]Repeating history, and you’re [G]getting sick of it
[Bm]But I believe in [G]whatever you [A]do
And I’ll do [G]anything to see it [A]through


Because these things will [D]change, can you feel it [A]now?
These walls that they [Bm]put up to hold us back will [G]fall down
This [D]revolution, the time will [A]come for us to finally [Bm]win [G]
We’ll sing [D]hallelujah, [A]we’ll sing [Bm]hallelujah [G]
Oh [D]Oh…


[D]So we’ve been outnumbered, [A]raided and now cornered
[Bm]It’s hard to fight when the [G]fight ain’t fair
[D]We’re getting stronger now, [A]find things they never found
[Bm]They might be bigger, but we’re [G]faster and [A]never scared
[Bm]You can walk [G]away and say we don’t [A]need this
[G]But There’s something in your eyes, says we can [A]beat this


Because these things will [D]change, can you feel [A]it now?
These walls that they [Bm]put up to hold us back will [G]fall down
This revolution, [D]the time will [A]come for us to finally [Bm]win [G]
We’ll sing [D]hallelujah, [A]we’ll sing [Bm]hallelujah [G]
Oh [D]Oh…


[Bm] [G] [D] [A] [Bm] [G] [D] [A]
[D]Tonight we [G]stand, get off our [Bm]knees
To fight for what we [G]worked for all these years [D]
The battle was [G]long, it’s the fight of our [Bm]lives
We’ll stand up [G]champions tonight


It was the night [D]things changed, can you see it now? [A]
These walls that they put [Bm]up to hold us back [G]fell down


It’s a revolution, [D]throw your hands up, [A]cause we never gave in [Bm] [G]
We sang [D]hallelujah, [A]we sang [Bm]hallelujah [G]
[D]Hallelujah [A] [Bm] [G]


[D] [A] [Bm] [C] [D] [A] [Bm] [C]
