F#m           F#m7          Ebm7-5         Dmaj7
Boul ma sene, boul ma guiss madi re nga fokni mane

Khamouma li neka thi sama souf ak thi guinaw

Beugouma kouma khol oaldine yaw li neka si yaw

Mo ne si man, li ne si mane moye dilene diapale

Roughneck and rudeness

We should be using, on the ones who practice wicked charms

For the sword and the stone

Bad to the bone

Battle is not over

Even when it's won


  Bm                     Dmaj7               
And when a child is born into this world
      (Ab)
It has no concept
(Ab)
Of the tone the skin is living in


   C#m 
It's not a second
           (Abm)        
7 Seconds away
                 A 
Just as long as I stay
        B
I'll be waiting
   C#m
It's not a second
           Abm
7 Seconds away
                 A 
Just as long as I stay
        B 
I'll be waiting x2

F#m F#m7 Ebm7-5 Dmaj7
I’ll be waiting


F#m           F#m7         Ebm7-5       Dmaj7
J'assume les raisons qui nous poussent de changer tout,

J'aimerais qu'on oublie leur couleur pour qu'ils espèrent

Beaucoup de sentiments de race qui font qu'ils désespèrent

Je veux les portes grandement ouvertes,

Des amis pour parler de leur peine, de leur joie

Pour qu'ils leur filent des infos qui ne divisent pas

   C#m
Changer

         Abm 
7 Seconds away
                 A
Just as long as I stay
        B
I'll be waiting
   C#m 
It's not a second
          Abm
7 Seconds away
                 A
Just as long as I stay
        B
I'll be waiting x2

F#m F#m7 Ebm7-5 Dmaj7
I’ll be waiting

Bm                       Dmaj7 
And when a child is born into this world
         Ab
It has no concept
          C#7
Of the tone the skin is living in
   A                   C#m
And there's a million voices
   A                    Ab
And there's a million voices


  Ab
To tell you what she should be thinking
                                C#m   
So you better sober up for just a second


          Abm 
7 Seconds away
                 A 
Just as long as I stay
        B 
I'll be waiting
   C#m 
It's not a second
          Abm
7 Seconds away
                 A
Just as long as I stay
        B
I'll be waiting (fade out)
