[Intro]
| Dm | Dm | Dm | Dm | x3
[Chorus]
Dm
Blood and bones are what we're made of
C G
Not enough steel to reconcile
A Dm
Crying out into the darkness
C G
One sure way to feel alive
A Dm
Demon mouths lined with halos
C G
Thinly veiled, but no surprise
A Dm
Rest assured, a welcomed surplus
C G Gm
Of systematic lies
[Interlude]

[Verse 1]
Dm
This child ain't mine but my hands are tied
C Dm
She's a life of bounty, and her skin is white
Dm
Under my care she'll play and thrive
C Bb Dm
In a few years, I'll be cast aside
Dm
I was once a noble daughter
C Dm
Our kingdom spanned the breadth of Ghana
Dm
But I was captured for the silver
C Bb Dm
Sent across the sea to a land unknown
Dm
Our rival sold me to some white men
C Dm
Skin as though it came from heaven
Dm
When they bound us to their will
C Bb Dm
They trapped themselves in hell as well
[Chorus]
Dm
Blood and bones are what we're made of
C G
Not enough steel to reconcile
A Dm
Crying out into the darkness
C G
One sure way to feel alive
A Dm
Demon mouths lined with halos
