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