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

[Chorus]
F# A#m C#
May we all be forsaken:
Am D#m
Like the black man trying to breathe
F# C#
Or the woman that's never believed
F# A#m C#
May we all be mistaken:
Am D#m F# C#
About our current state, about the current of hate
