    VERSE 1
  • C#m E
    Killing for salvation he was sitting on his throne
    B A
  • And he thought "there's ways to reach these folks and teach them
     
    what we've known”
  • C#m E
    Into the receiver came a voice unlike his kind,
    B A
  • they're not speaking the same language but there's common ground
     
    he'll find
  •  
    CHORUS
    C#m E
  • I don't need to kill anyone
    B A
    To let them know I am for real
  • C#m E
    I don't need to walk in your backyard
    B A
  • To let you know just where I stand
     
    VERSE 2
  • C#m E
    So we're picking our pieces for the safety of our sons
    B A
  • He's not reaching for an agreement but he's reaching for our guns
    C#m E
    He don't need to questions he don't need to compromise
  • B A
    There's no use in a conversation if there's nothing left to find
     
  • CHORUS
     
    BRIDGE
  • E F# A
    Cuz I respect your home and what you say
    E F# A
  • when you're speaking to me
    E F# A
    And when it's time to look you in the eye
  • F# A
    And you'll know where I'm coming from
    F# A
  • Do you know where I'm coming from
     
    ENDING: Back to the same strum pattern of C#m, E, B, A with the same timing
