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