_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I've kept it inside much [C] too long _ _ _ There's [Em] no relief _ _ _ _
Carry it around just like [C] a stone [Am] Too [C] _ _ heavy [Em] for me
_ _ _ _ _ [C] I've paid the [D] price I've [C] spent it on the [Bm] outside
I've [Am] looked in _ _ It's _ _ [C] time to let [D] the _ killing [Em] begin
_ A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
boy strung out, he's going [C] through hell _ _ _ His [Em] mother _ weeps, _ _ his spirit is broken
And there's nothing [C] left, _ _ _ just a [Em] terrible need _ _ _ _
And [C] their days _ [D] are marked _ [C] by the heaviness of [Bm] their hearts
It [Am] never ends _ _ _ until [C] _ _ _ [D] the _ healing [Em] _ begins _ _ _
_ [Am] _ [G] _ Oh yeah, _ _ and [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ [G] _ the tincture [Dm] on the prowls of the street
[G] Like an animal, _ _ _ _ _ _ the people stay [Dm] inside Behind their locks [G] and chains _ _ _
It's [C] a shame when so [D] many are trying [Em] their best to [Bm] live
_ [Am] That's why, _ _ _ _ and the [C] smoke from the fires [D] _
covers up [Em] the sun
_ _ _ A _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ young girl is lying in the [C] dirt Her [Em] _
dreams ended there _ _ _ _ _
Caught in the crossfire on [C] somebody's turf _ _ _ Hatred [Em] in the air _
_ _ _ _ It's [C] a voice that never [D] sings _ [C] A winter without the [Bm] spring
It [Am] never ends _ _ _ _ [C] It's time to let [D] the healing [Em] begin _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] It's _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] time to let [D] the _ _ healing _ _ [Em] begin _ _ _ _ _
