[INTRO]
[Am] [Em] [F] [Dm]

[VERSE 1]
Every day I [Am]wake and everything is [Em]broken
Turnin' off my [F]phone just to get out of b[Dm]ed
Get home every [Am]evenin' and history's re[Em]peatin'
Turning off my [F]phone cuz it's hurting my ch[Dm]est

[PRE-CHORUS 1]
Yeah-ay,[F] and heaven knows I'm not hel[C]pless
Yeah[Dm] , but what can I do? [C]
[F] I can't see the use in me cr[C]ying
If I'm not even t[Dm]rying to make the change I wanna see

[CHORUS 1]
I can't sit and [Am]hope, I can't just sit and [G]pray that
I can find a [Dm]love when all I see is [F]pain
Falling to my [Am]knees and though I do be[G]lieve
I can't just [F]preach, baby, [C]preach

[Am] [G]
Woah oh-oh oh-oh, oh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can't just [F]preach, baby, [C]preach


[VERSE 2]
All I [C]hear is [Am]voices, everybody's [Em]talking
Nothing real is [F]happening cause nothing is n[Dm]ew
Now when all is [Am]tragic and I just feel se[Em]dated
Why do I feel [F]numb, is that all I can d[Dm]o?

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
Yeah,[F] and heaven knows I'm not hel[C]pless
Yeah[Dm] , but I'm only human [C]
[F] I can't see the use in me cr[C]ying
If I'm not even t[Dm]rying to make the change I wanna see

[CHORUS 2]
I can't sit and [Am]hope, I can't just sit and [G]pray that
I can find a [Dm]love when all I see is [F]pain
Falling to my [Am]knees and though I do be[G]lieve
I can't just [F]preach, baby, [C]preach

[Am] [G]
Woah oh-oh oh-oh, oh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can't just [F]preach, baby, [C]preach


[PRE-CHORUS 3]
[F] And heaven knows I'm not hel[C]pless
[Dm] But what can I do[Em] , yeah[C]
[F] I can't see the use in me cr[C]ying
If I'm not even t[Dm]rying to make the change I wanna see

[CHORUS 3]
I can't sit and [Am]hope, I can't just sit and [G]pray that
I can find a [Dm]love when all I see is [F]pain
I try to do the [Am]things I say that I be[G]lieve (I do believe)
I can't just [F]preach, baby, [C]preach

[Am] [G]
Woah oh-oh oh-oh, oh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can't just [Dm]preach, baby, [F]preach
[Am] [G]
Woah oh-oh oh-oh, oh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I can't just [F]preach, baby, [C]preach
