G  Em  D

G
                    Em
There's sense in arguing
                        D        G
That's something you believe in
                   Em                       D     G
Can't hope to ?aknwoledge? someones good advice
                 Em                       D       G
Don't have much money to lay around and grieve in
                           Em
Better off just keep your mouth shut
                 D    G
Come on boys be nice
           Em
You can't hurt me now
Bb                    D
I don't know how to cry
    Em         G     D
But I'm still young
          A                       G
I see the outstretched arms that beckon me
                    D
But I can't come
             A                     G
I hear the spoken words that make no sense
Where I come from

G
               Em             D          G
Keep everyone happy with ??? recreation
               Em                 D     G
??? take out frustrations on the field
      Em                     D       G
??? churches on every other corner
    Em                       D      G
???visions with much better yield
           Em
You can't hurt me now
Bb                    D
I don't know how to cry
    Em         G     D
But I'm still young
          A                       G
I see the outstretched arms that beckon me
                    D
But I can't come
             A                     G
I hear the spoken words that make no sense
                   D
Where I come from
             A
I feel the stinging truth
      G                             D
The slaps me hard and makes me numb
           A                  G
I eat the bitter fruit that grows on trees
                    D
Where I come from
