Leon Bridges Sweeter chords
[Intro]
C
[Chorus]
C G Am
Hoping for a life more sweeter
C G Am
Instead I'm just a story repeating
F G Am
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
F G Am
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes
[Verse I]
C G Am
I thought we moved on from the darker days
C G Am
Did the words of the King disappear in the air
F
Like a butterfly?
C G Am
Somebody should hand you a felony
Dm G C
'Cause you stole from me
F
My chance to be
[Chorus]
C G Am
Hoping for a life more sweeter
C G Am
Instead I'm just a story repeating
F G Am
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
F G Am
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes
[Verse II]
C F G Dm
The tears of my Mother rain, rain over me
C F G Em
My sisters and my brothers sing, sing over me
F G C Dm
And I wish I had another day
F G C Dm
But it's just another day
[Chorus]
C G Am
Hoping for a life more sweeter
C G Am
Instead I'm just a story repeating
F G Am
Why do I fear with skin dark as night?
F G Am
Can't feel peace with those judging eyes
[Outro]
C F Am
Hoping for a life more sweeter
