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

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

About our current state, about the current of hate
