F#m F#m
[Verse 1]
F#m
I've crossed the line
F#m
I've bent the rules
F#m
Home of the brave
F#m
Red, white, and blue
F#m
I've fought the fire
F#m
Running through my head
F#m
Stood by and watched
F#m
Believed in what they said
[Chorus]
F#m
I'm 40 miles of bad road
D
B riverbed of potholes
B
I know, I know, I know where
F#m
the money goes
F#m
Down a shaft of ratholes
D
Lowered by my ankles
B
Where dear dogs lie in the
F#m
afterglow
[Verse 2]
F#m
I've walked the cage
F#m
I've been in cuffs
F#m
I've done the time
F#m
Enough is enough
F#m
I know my rights
F#m
Know when I'm wrong
F#m
But nothing seemed to matter
F#m
Until you came along
[Chorus]
F#m
I'm 40 miles of bad road
D
B riverbed of potholes
B
I know, I know, I know where
F#m
the money goes
F#m
Down a shaft of ratholes
D
Lowered by my ankles
B
Where dear dogs lie in the
F#m
afterglow
[Verse 3]
F#m
I've wrapped my wounds
F#m
I've closed my eyes
F#m
Escaped to nowhere
F#m
Turning back the tide
F#m
I asked the sage
F#m
What it's gonna take
F#m
To get out of Jordan
F#m
With everything at stake
[Chorus]
F#m
I'm 40 miles of bad road
D
B riverbed of potholes
B
I know, I know, I know where
F#m
the money goes
F#m
Down a shaft of ratholes
D
Lowered by my ankles
B
Where dear dogs lie in the
F#m
afterglow
[Outro]
F#m
In the afterglow
F#m
In the afterglow
F#m F#m
In the afterglow
