Bulletproof Pride

This is one of my favourite K'naan songs, I'm a big fan of his stuff. Anyway, I arranged allot of it myself and I'm not sure if the bridge is right, so please feel free to correct. Enjoy!






       
Intro: F#, Db, B, Ebm, Db x2


F#                        Db
I’'ve been running out of
          B
My 70 excuses
                                      Ebm
There comes a point when patience
       Db
Can’’t take all these abuses
F#                            Db
Now my reserves are empty
                         B
I’’m feeling kind of low
                                             Ebm
Because when do you fight for someone
                         Db
And when do you let ‘em go
Abm                B                                        Abm
The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine
                             Ebm             Db
Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine


F#                     Db                               B
I’’ve been waiting for you to come to your senses
                       Ebm            Db
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches


F#                       Db                            B
You don't have to carry that weight all by yourself
                   Ebm          Db
Even you the mercenary could use a little help
F#                    Db                          B
You've got your gun, your bulletproof pride
               Ebm                   Db
You never run, but you sure know how to hide
F#   Db    B  Ebm Db
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhhh


F#                             Db
My friend said he had seen you
               B
At a movie theatre
                                         Ebm
You looked just had you had always
        Db                F#
Didn’’t ask about me either
                                  Db
I won't say life ends without you
                            B
But you're the only answer
                         Ebm
You got me like a thief
      Db                   F#
You got me with my hands up
Abm                B                                        Abm
The other day I thought I saw you on a magazine
                             Ebm             Db
Your stubborn nose pretending to belong to the machine


’F#                     Db                               B
I've been waiting for you to come to your senses
                       Ebm            Db
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
F#                       Db                            B
You don't have to carry that weight all by yourself
                   Ebm          Db
Even you the mercenary could use a little help
F#                    Db                          B
You've got your gun, your bulletproof pride
               Ebm                   Db
You never run, but you sure know how to hide
F#   Db    B  Ebm Db
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhhh


Db     B                         Db
Yeah, there’’s something wrong
       Ebm Db  Ebm
Yeah, be safe now
There’s a faith in my heart
Going days won't stop
When I feel that I’m still
In the beat of your soul
When you talk
When you write
B
When you weave and you flow
And you leave and you stay
Db
Only waiting is left
                                             F#
Now I'm kneeling around in the cold


                        Db                               B
I’’ve been waiting for you to come to your senses
                       Ebm            Db
Holding up your heavy heart, down there in the trenches
F#                       Db                            B
You don't have to carry that weight all by yourself


                   Ebm          Db
Even you the mercenary could use a little help
F#                    Db                          B
You've got your gun, your bulletproof pride
               Ebm                   Db
You never run, but you sure know how to hide
F#   Db    B  Ebm Db
Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhhh
