[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Dadd9/A
E7/A        F#m7/A         C#m D/A
    Now the cover of a Rolling Stone
          F#m7/A     C#m     D/A
Ain't the cover of a Rolling Stone
        F#m7/A      C#m D/A
And the music on my radio  
          F#m7/A           C#m   D/A
Is_n't supposed to make me feel alone

[Pre-Chorus]
D           D/F#       Bm7
 What a drag    to know
D               D/F#          E
 I have to learn    to let it go

[Chorus]
E                 A     D
Show me something I can be
E                A     D
Play a song that I can sing
E               A    D
Make me feel as I am free
D   A/C# Bm7  E7sus4    A
Someone  come speak for me
D A/C# Bm7 E7sus4 A

[Verse 2]
Dadd9/A
E7/A               F#m7/A      C#m    D/A
    Well theyâre celebrating broken things
          F#m7/A           C#m    D/A
I donât want  a world of broken things
        F#m7/A          C#m   D/A
You can tell  something isn't right
              F#m7/A       C#m      D/A
When all your heroes are in   black and white

[Pre-Chorus]
D           D/F#      Bm7
 What a drag    to say
D           D/F#             E
 At least I still have yesterday

[Chorus]
E                 A     D
Show me something I can be
E                A     D
Play a song that I can sing
E               A    D
Make me feel as I am free
D   A/C# Bm7  E7sus4    A
Someone  come speak for me
D   A/C# Bm7  E7sus4    A
Someone  come speak for me
