Intro Em  Bm 


[Verso 1]
Em 
Lola was the smartest in the school 
               Bm 
She was a supernova 

She had a mind beyond her time 
                   Em 
It was a thrill to know her 
                                                        Bm 
She had dreams, she'd fall in love some place like Barcelona 

Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola 


[Pré-Refrão]
                           Em 
She could've walked on the moon, yeah 

She could've found us a cure 
                          Bm 
But family didn't have no food 

And she had to leave school to work 
                  Em 
Nobody breaks the ceiling 

Nobody where she's from 
                  Bm 
Nobody breaks the ceiling, yeah 


[Refrão]
Nobody's listening 
       Em 
So she won't speak, won't speak 
                               Bm 
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly 
                                Em 
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police 
                           Bm 
It's just the way it is so don't speak, don't speak 


[Verso 2]
Em 
Lola 
                                                         Bm 
She believed the world, they promised her, but now she's older 

She's seen the people disagree and disappear 
    Em 
The power's out for days 

No food is on its way 

Nothing changes 
                          Bm 
This ain't the dream they sold us 

Lola, Lola, Lola

                          Em 
She could've walked on the moon, yeah 

Could've found us a cure 
                          Bm 
But she worried 'bout her children 

Ninety miles till the shore 
                  Em 
Nobody breaks the ceiling 

Nobody where she's from 
                  Bm 
Nobody breaks the ceiling, yeah 

Nobody

Nobody's listening 
       Em 
So she won't speak 

Won't speak 
                               Bm 
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly 
                                Em 
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police 
                           Bm 
It's just the way it is so don't speak, don't speak 

 
[Verso 3]
              Em 
Se pone bien bonita 

Como lista pa' un desfile 

Le prometieron ser la 

Reina del Caribe 
Bm 
Pero alguien le cambió 

El guión de cine 

Y comenzar de nuevo 

Solo pide 
    Em 
Del bajo mundo ella proviene 

Cuanto vales cuanto tienes 
          Bm 
Ese es el precio de mi Lola 

Cuando no hay salida 

Quiere libertad 
Bm 
Quiere patria y vida

Nobody's listening 
       Em 
So she won't speak 

Won't speak 
                               Bm 
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly 
                                Em 
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police 
                           Bm 
It's just the way it is so don't speak, don't speak 

( Em  Bm  Em  Bm ) 

Em 
  Quiso sacarse el dolor 

Matando su corazón 
Bm 
  Ella soñaba volar 

Pero el avión nunca 
   Em 
Despegó 

Cuanto sufre el paso 
                       Bm 
Del tiempo y siempre sola 

En mi Havana cuantas Lola's
