C                   E          Am 
Everybody's got to love each other 
C                               E                 Am 
Stop throwin' stones at your sisters and your brothers 
G                    E                   Am            G   D 
Man, it wasn't that long ago we were all living in the jungle 
               G    G 
So why do we gotta put each other down 
               G                   G 
When there's more than enough love to g-g-go around  


        C 
Come to mama 
            Am 
Tell me who hurt ya 
                     F 
There's gonna be no future 
                        Fm 
If we don't figure this out   

 
C                         E      Am 
Dude in a lab coat and a man of God  
C                         E        Am 
Fought over prisms and a forty-day flood 
G              E               Am            G   D 
Well, I say rainbows did more than they've ever done 
              G       G 
So why do we gotta fight over ideas 
                   G                   G 
We're talkin' the same old shit after all of these years 


        C 
Come to mama 
            Am 
Tell me who hurt ya 
                     F 
There's gonna be no future 
                        Fm 
If we don't figure this out 
           C 
Oh, come tomorrow 
                  Am 
Who are you gonna follow 
                      F 
There's gonna be no future 
                        Fm 
If we don't figure this out 


C                     E              Am 
Psychic guru catches minnows in the harbor 
C                             E              Am 
Everyone tells him he should work a little harder 
G                        E                                Am        
They all tell you that freedom must be bought  
     G   D 
But, baby, he's already caught them 
              G            G 
So why do we gotta tell each other how to live 
            G                           G 
The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in 

 
       C 
Come to mama

'Cause I wanna be there 
                    Fm 
I wanna be there for you I wanna be there 
C                                        Am

                                                       F 
The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in 
                                            Fm 
Why do we gotta tell each other how to live?   Look what that rainbow did
