Intro

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

[Chorus]
D# Gm A#
May we all be forsaken:
F#m Cm
Like the black man trying to breathe
D# A#
Or the woman that's never believed
D# Gm A#
May we all be mistaken:

About our current state, about the current of hate
