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