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

Asked me why I was crying, said I stubbed my toe

May we all be mistaken:
Cm F#m A E
About our current state, about the current of hate
