SOJA - A Brief History

[Intro]
Dm Em
This is for the order
Am Am Dm Em
This is a history, a brief history
Am Am Dm
Of a music, that knows no boundaries
Em Am Am
Haffi reach far away to the next generation
Dm Em Am Am
SOJA!

[Verse 1]
Dm Em Am
I remember when it started
Am
Seems so long ago now
Dm Em Am
Sublime and Stoopid they led it
Am
Then us and Reb came along
Dm Em
And now Sticks coming up hot
Am Am
And Dirty’s always been in
Dm Em Am Am
Then Em & Amy saw something that all of us saw as well

[Chorus]
Dm Em
I don’t wanna lie to you
Am Am
But it breaks my heart in two
Dm Em
I just wanna live forever
Am Am
We all do, we all do
Dm Em
And every word I ever say
Am Am
I’m telling you the truth, truth
Dm Em Am
Cause I don’t wanna lie to you
Am
I don’t wanna lie to you

[Verse 2]
Dm Em Am Am
We’re all just following those footsteps from when we were kids
Dm Em
Like our first time in Hawaii
Am Am
Like our first time in Brazil
Dm Em Am
Like that first time at the Grammy’s
Am Dm
I didn’t win and I cried
Em Am Am
I heard my man LAS say, “Jake, I love watching you try.”

[Chorus]
Dm Em
I don’t wanna lie to you
Am Am
But it breaks my heart in two
Dm Em
I just wanna live forever
Am Am
We all do, we all do
Dm Em
And every word I ever say
Am Am
I’m telling you the truth, truth
Dm Em Am
Cause I don’t wanna lie to you
Am
I don’t wanna lie to you

[Post-Chorus]
Dm Em Am Am
I don’t wanna lie to you
Dm Em Am Am
I don’t wanna lie to you
Dm Em Am Am
I don’t wanna lie to you
Dm Em Am Am
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
Dm Em Am Am
We’re all just following our old path each day on this land
Dm Em Am Am
See Reggae music is really on stage, but more in the stands
Dm Em Am
We all just start with Bob Marley
Am Dm
We all need Reggae to dance
Em Am Am
Driving for hours with SOJA turn into driving for fans

[Chorus]
Dm Em
I don’t wanna lie to you
Am Am
It breaks my heart in two
Dm Em
I just wanna live forever
Am Am
We all do, we all do
Dm Em
And every word I ever say
Am Am
I’m telling you the truth, truth
Dm Em Am
Cause I don’t wanna lie to roots
Am
I don’t wanna lie to you

[Post-Chorus]
Dm Em Am Am
I cannot lie in roots
Dm Em Am Am
To fall underneath the truth
Dm Em Am Am
I don’t wanna lie to you
Dm Em Am Am
It breaks my heart in two, but all I need
Dm Em Am Am
I don’t wanna lie to you
Dm Em Am Am
It breaks my heart in two, but all I need

[Outro]
Dm Em
The stage is nothing without the stands
Am Am Dm
The bands are nothing without the fans
Em Am Am
To all hearers of this, to all hearers to come
Dm Em Am Am Dm Em Am Am
SOJA!
