[Verse 1]

C      G*             C        G**
It's a new day in the district
C     G*                 C      E
After four years off the rails
Am        G               Fm6
Want some checks and some balances
C/E     Am                  D     G G7
Not the same old rich white males

C      G*                C     G**
We can put this place in order
C       G*                 C     A#7
Build a brand new house of cards
Am                 E/G#
Pretty soon it may fall
         G                D/F#
Ain't it true, don't they all
F       G          C    G* C G**
But old habits die hard

[Verse 2]

C          G*             C          G**
I hope i'm aimin' for the truth here
C        G*          C     E
That I'm ready to be wrong
       Am       G
But my mind was designed
      Fm6
For a different world
C/E     Am             D7     G G7
And the tribal urge is strong

C     G*            C         G**
Still every loss of privilege
C       G*             C     A#7
Is a swift kick in the nards
Am                 E/G#
It's been long overdue
     G               D/F#
I'll admit that it's true
F       E7         Am   C C7
But old habits die hard
F   G          C    C6 C
Old habits die hard

[Bridge]

E               Am
Save us from ourselves
G7                Am    Am/G
Save us from each other
Fm6              Am
Save us from the sickness
            G                F
That sees a threat and not a sister
     G
or a brother

[Verse 3]

C        G*              C    G**
May this go down for the ages
C      G*             C     C/B
As the lowest that we creep
Am      G                 Fm6
May the children in their cages
C/E       Am               D     G
See their mothers in their sleep

C      G*                C       G**
May we find some kind of justice
C      G*              C      C/B
In the tatters and the shards
Am    G             F       Fm
Every recompense is welcome
Dm      E          Am   C C7
But old habits die hard
F   G          C     C/G Am
Old habits die hard
