Intro on A

Verse Chords: B/Dsus2   E    A   F#m

When I was young
I saw people helping people all the time
Because you were
People-helping-people

In your prime
I thought people-loving-people
Were the norm
Because you were people
Loving people

D- (xx0232@1)E- (022100@1)A (x02220@1)VERSE
I wanna know who are these people
Blaming their sins on the fall
Who are these people

If I'm honest with myself at all
These are my people
Man, what else can I say
You are my people
And we're the same in so many ways
