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

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