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

And the song played on as if it didn't know
[Chorus]
C Em G
May we all be forsaken:
D#m Am
Like the black man trying to breathe
C G
Or the woman that's never believed

May we all be mistaken:
D#m Am C G
About our current state, about the current of hate
[Bridge]
