Chords:
Transpose:
[Intro]
Em G D Em

[Verse]
GHow many times must we do this to ourselves
DBeen on our knees a million times, asking for your help
EmOf all the answers that I don't understand
DLike I did not draw the firing line but I know just where to stand
C EmNobody told me must have heard it on the news
C EmPeople with nothing still had everything to lose
[Chorus]
G CIt's like running up hill
G CIt's like running up hill
[Verse]
GIn the corner of a graveyard a mother kneels to pray
DTo the memory of a son that slowly fades away
EmIn this part of the graveyard the sun no longer shines
DThere's no fences or barbed wire but still she's doing time
C EmUntil she gets the answers to the questions that she asks
C EmIt's hard to build a future when your haunted by the past
[Chorus]
G CIt's like running up hill
G CIt's like running up hill
[Verse]
Am EmAs the bodies hit the pavement
Am EmThe world seen what you've done
Am EmAs the bodies hit the pavement
Am G Em DSomeone was singing "we will overcome"
[Chorus]
G CIt's like running up hill
G CIt's like running up hill
[Verse]
GNow everybody gathered here on Central Drive
DIs marching in the shadow of the truth you tried to hide
EmAnd every footstep taken is a breaking of your law
DFor your justice never added up to the murder that we saw.
C EmTime won't make no difference to the people who still care
C EmIn thousands we march the streets still knowing that you're there
[Outro]
G CIt's like running up hill
G CIt's like running up hill
G CIt's like running up hill
