version 2
D# G# C# F# A# D#
It's a half step down
Verse:
D
We wiped out all the Buffalo
Bm
Around the turn of the last century,
G
And so it's factories and sawgrass,
A
Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me.
D
The Midwest feels like a hollow place
Bm
That we filled with love and industry.
G
And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,
A
Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy.
Prechorus(play chords arpegiated):
D A Bm A G
Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything.
A
Let me be.
Chorus: D G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Bm A
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
D G
They played the war drum out of time
Bm A
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
Bm D
I wanna be strong,
G
But it's not easy anymore.
D A G
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Verse 2:
D
It's sixteen hours straight to home
Bm
From the heart of North Missouri,
G
And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs
A
For the devil in my bloodstream.
D
Depression grabbed his throat
Bm
And choked the life out of him slowly.
G
I've got the same blood coursing through my veins
A
And it'll come for me eventually.
Prechorus 2:
D
I bet I'd be a fucking coward.
Bm
I bet I'd never have the guts for war,
G
'Cause I can't spend another month away from here.
A
These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.
D A Bm A G
But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home.
A
So let me know.
D G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Bm A
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
D G
They played the war drum out of time
Bm A
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
Bm D
I wanna be strong,
G
But it's not easy anymore.
D A G
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
(palm muted G powerchord)
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Bridge:
D A
I know how it feels to be
G
At war with a world
That never loved me.
D A
I know how it feels to be
G
At war with a world
That never loved me.
Chorus 3:
D G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Bm A
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
D G
They played the war drum out of time
Bm A
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
Bm D G
I wanna be strong.
D A
I wanna be strong
G
But it's not easy anymore.
