      [Intro]

Em A Bm Em A Bm

[Verse 1]
Em      A                               Bm
18th of July on the banks of a not well known river
                                       Em    A
I started a journey to where I am now
               Bm                                             Em    A
Troubled soul, troublemaker guided by the drums of my creator
                             Bm
Toward a rhythm and rhyme, a melody line of a song called freedom
           Em    A                     Bm
Which once heard will never leave your head

[Bridge]
G      D              E
We are people born of sound
E                    G
The songs are in our eyes
     D                 E
Gonna wear them like a crown


[Chorus]
Bm    G   D       E
Walk out into the street
Bm              G
Sing your heart out
     D                E
This love it can't be beat
Bm                     G
We're neither down nor out
        D           E           Em    A
There's nothing you have that I need
Bm
While I can breathe
Em   A               Bm       Em    A
Breathe, while I can breathe

[Verse 2]
                             Bm                      
All those who stood together fist in air now know this
Em          A                           Bm
That real division is not a scar on the land

but in the heart of every man
        Em    A
who began as a kiss
                         Bm
Not to resist, a knotted fist
                  Em    A
Now an open hand, open face, an open page
      Bm
Where history might rewrite its rage

[Bridge]
G       D               E                        G
And the life you get to live is the one you give away
   D                E
To forget who to forgive is a good thing.


[Chorus]
Bm    G   D       E
Walk out into the street
Bm              G
Sing your heart out
     D                E
This love will not be beat
Bm                     G
We're neither down nor out
        D           E           Em    A
There's nothing you have that I need
Bm
While I can breathe
Em   A               Bm     
Breathe, while I can breathe

[Chorus]
Bm    G   D       E
Walk out into the street
Bm              G
Sing your heart out
     D                E
This love will not be beat
Bm                     G
We're neither down nor out
        D           E           Em    A
There's nothing you have that I need
Bm
While I can breathe
Em   A               Bm       
Breathe, while I can breathe
