🎸 Love Letters To God chords by Nahko And Medicine For The People

Chorus:

C/G       Em
Love letters to God
F/C               C/G
I Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
Am      F/C    C/G
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
C/G         Em
So many parts to a heavy heart
F/C           C/G
If there’s no beginning, then where would you start?
Am   F/C     C/G
Start, start, where would you start?

Verse 1:

C/G
Give, always give what you can
G
Even if your allies draw lines in the sand
Am
And dig, always dig a little deeper
F/C
Sometimes it’s hard to be my brother’s keeper
C/G
Love, so you let love in
G
Baby I am home in the wake of your skin,
Am
and it’s crazy how we wear our ceremonie
F/C
Always be open to your path and your journey
C/G            G
Yes, she cradles my loneliness
          Am
A home in a foreg nest
         F/C
Universal test, feel the weight of my love put your hand on my chest
 C/G
And rest in the cradle of my arms
G                            Am
The battle that we face is a place where our scars come from

And to pick up that gun
F/C
My love we are destined to teach these ones
C/G
to be brave and never run away
G                           Am
Courage is birthed from the womb on the first light of day
                 F/C
Yeah, the day you were born you came out perfect never meant to be torn
C/G                  G
and silence, never been so loud, and the violence
             Am
Never been so proud of a people
                 F/C
Who´re fighting for a change, not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage
C/G
We are animals and we cannot be caged
G
Provoke us to fight
                  Am
So we burn a little sage and write poetry
               F/C
Wiser than the enemy will ever be
The minority
C/G
An authority
                G
Are you here to protect or arrest me?
                 Am
I can’t tolerate the hate, and I'm losing sleep
                     F/C
Can’t breathe because they’re choking out a war in me
Immorality

Chorus:

C/G       Em
Love letters to God
F/C               C/G
I Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
Am      F/C    C/G
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
C/G         Em
So many parts to a heavy heart
F/C           C/G
If there’s no beginning, then where would you start?
Am   F/C     C/G
Start, start, where would you start?

Verse 2:

C/G                       G
Human souls, so we carve them into story Totem poles
                       Am
Because we’re always searching for a certain goal
            F/C
A pattern, a physics, a role
Don’t believe all you’re told
C/G
And open, open up your fist
G
A misconception, you can fight like this
Am
In praise. With the power of prayer
F/C
If God’s on our side we can take the stairs
C/G
To the heavens
Flipping through my chapter seven
G
I live with the snakes in the great deception
Am
No court, in this country for men
F/C
Who steal from their mother on paper with pen
C/G
And we’re tripping down a red dirt road
G
And we’re asking
Is this the way we should go?
Am
Kissing, soft top feet of my goddess
F/C
We walk the earth, baby yeah we got this
C/G
Focus, and it’s redirected
G
Grateful, and I’m resurrected
Am
Stubborn, but I know the way
F/C
You’re the skin of my drum
To your rhythm I will sway
C/G
Take my hand
I won’t lead you astray
G
We will not go gently into the darkest of days
Am
Grandma’s here, and she says "persevere"
F/C
Take a walk in her mocks sees a trail of tears
C/G
And our fears, are the same as they ever were

G                   Am
Beers numb the pain of our holocaust gears

Always mobbing and motion
F/C
Maybe, baby be an island over an ocean
C/G                      G
Your arches, how they bend and contract on my conscious
                   Am
Never slipped through the grip of my thesis
                 F/C
And my theory is I shine in your presence
A deliverance

Chorus:

C/G       Em
Love letters to God
F/C            C/G
I Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
Am      F/C    C/G
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
C/G         Em
So many parts to a heavy heart
F/C           C/G
If there’s no beginning, then where would you start?
Am   F/C     C/G
