Sweeter

 
Em           D/F#        G 
Hoping for a life more sweeter 
   Em               D/F#     G 
Instead I'm just a story repeating 
Cmaj7     Bm        Am 
Why do I fear with skin dark as night? 
Cmaj7       Bm          Am 
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes 
 

 
    Em                         D/F#    G 
I thought we moved on from the darker days 
                      Em       D/F#         G 
Did the words of the King disappear in the air 
Like a butterfly? 
    Cmaj7                    Bm   Am 
Somebody should hand you a felony 
            Cmaj7 Bm   Am 
Because you stole from me 
My chance to be 
 

 
Em           D/F#        G 
Hoping for a life more sweeter 
   Em               D/F#     G

Cmaj7     Bm        Am 
Why do I fear with skin dark as night? 
Cmaj7       Bm         Am 
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes 
 

 
    Em           D/F#    G   E/G#  Am 
The tears of my mother rain, rain over me 
    Em             D/F#     G    E/G#  Am 
My sisters and my brothers sing, sing over me 
  Em   D/F#  G  E/G#  Am 
And I wi--sh I had-- another day 
Em  D/F#  G  E/G# Am 
but it's just--- another day 
 

 
Em           D/F#        G 
Hoping for a life more sweeter
