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