Derek Webb

The State

by Derek Webb
Derek Webb

Biography:

Derek Walsh Webb (born May 27, 1974 in Memphis, Tennessee) is a singer-songwriter, and a part-time member of the band Caedmon's Call. In 2003, Derek left Caedmon's Call to pursue a solo career with the exception of occasionally still touring and singing with them. His first solo album, She Must and Shall Go Free is notable for causing controversy in Contemporary Christian Music circles; some Christian retailers refused to stock the album for its use of "strong" language.

THE STATE
STOCKHOLM SYNDROME

(First tab ever, be forgiving)
-----------------------------

INTRO:
C G Am---> F x2

VERSE 1:
C G Am ----> F
O, I was free to live and love and kill as I saw fit
C G Am ----> F
I was at peace, there really was no one I was at war with
G G(B) C C(D)
The only common good was that we understood
Em F(e)
That laws unjust were only good for breaking
G G(B) C
The difference legalized instead of (sameness?)
F
Left nobody free
C G Am
But that was the day before I married my conscience to the State
(Am) C Em Em F F F (G)
Am C Em Em F F F (G)

VERSE 2:
C G Am ----> F
My taxes paid, these roads were laid to places of my choosing
C G Am ----> F
There were no eyes up in the skies looking down into my bed
G G(B) C C(D)
There was no government without our consent
Em F(e)
And keys were made for anyone who just claimed it
G G(B) C
And glass was all of every wall that framed it
F
From sea to shining sea
C G Am
But that was the day before I married my conscience to the State
(Am) C Em Em F F F (G)
Am C Em Em F F F (G)

BRIDGE:
Am F
Right and wrong were written on my heart,
G
not just in the laws that condemn me
Am F
But now with Caesar satisfied,
G Am.....
I can even do the things that should offend me
