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

C#m A#
And the song played on as if it didn't know
[Chorus]
A# Dm F
May we all be forsaken:
C#m Gm
Like the black man trying to breathe
A# F
Or the woman that's never believed
A# Dm F
May we all be mistaken:
C#m Gm A# F
About our current state, about the current of hate
