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

Like the black man trying to breathe
