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

May we all be mistaken:
Gm C#m E B
About our current state, about the current of hate
