Verse 1:
[D] Is this how it was in[Bm]tended? The sunrise over s[G]moke stacks in the Midwest,
the [A]beauty of this abandoned factory.
[D] Christmas [Bb]lights blinking [Bm]on and off all [D]out of time
in what [G]used to be, your [A]pink house dreams of a middle [Bb]class
Refrain 1:
A[Bm]merica, I'm [D]trying to[G] believe in [Bm]you,
but all these [D]satellites and [G]shattered dreams are blocking out my [Em]view.
[A] [G] [Em] [A]
Please don't forg[Bb]et who you really are, because nothing really matters when we're gone
(Repeat Intro once)
Verse 2:
[D] Fell in love with his keno [Bm]waitress
They honeymooned in [G]Memphis; they were [A]married by the drive up window.
[D] Trailer [Bb]parks, neon [Bm]signs, and an [D]empty box of [G]Lucky Strikes:
[A]all used up on the dashboard [Bb]of
Refrain 2:
A[Bm]merica, I'm [D]trying [G]to believe in [Bm]you
this world [D]sold its fate for [G]parking lots and drunk sinceri[Em]ty
[A] [Em] [A]
Please d[Bb]on't forget who you really are, because nothing really matters when we're -
Bridge:
[Bm] You'll be [D]saddened to know the [G]train tracks you once walked as a
[Bm]young boy[D] are now [G]nothing but a graveyard
[Em] [A] [G] [Em]
[A] Please don't forget ho[Bb]w small we really are, because nothing really matters when we're gone.
