Intro
C A# F
[Verse]
C A# F
He went to Hyannis to let go of Alice for the third and final time
C A# F
I asked him if it worked when he got back, he said he didn't have the time
G#m A# G#m F
The time to tell me anything or the time to let her go
G#m A#
But I guess it wasn't a good time to press
G#m F
So I guess I'll never know, I'll never know
[Verse 2]
C A# F
On the way back looking straight ahead, we were hypnotized by the road
C A# F
Saw the coins on the dashboard truck and decide that they could float
G#m A# G#m A#
In the air I looked down at the time, and mistook it for the radio
G#m A#
I thought about the little choices we made along
G#m F
And the song played on as if it didn't know
[Chorus]
F Am C
May we all be forsaken:
G#m Dm F C
Like the soldier trying to leave, the mother trying to sleep
F Am C
May we all be mistaken:
G#m Dm F C
About our current state, about the current of hate
[Bridge]
C A# F
Bleeding on and on and on to sell our soul
A# F
Asked me why I was crying, said I stubbed my toe
G#m Dm
And I wanted to blame the roots of the trees
G#m F
For pushing up the concrete but now I know
[Verse]

And the song played on as if it didn't know
[Chorus]
F Am C
May we all be forsaken:
G#m Dm
Like the black man trying to breathe
F C
Or the woman that's never believed
F Am C
May we all be mistaken:
G#m Dm F C
About our current state, about the current of hate
