State Of The Art
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
D Bm A G Em
[Verse 1]
D
Staring out the window as I ride on
Bm
I've been thinkin bout the world where I been and gone
A
Rollin like a river that heads upstream
G Em
I hear you're happier now since you got clean
D
They put you though the bases when you were young
Bm
And they're still drinkin kool-aid back where you come from
A
You walked around town with your collar up
G Em
And you never got off on that racist stuff
[Chorus]
G D
Livin in the state of the art
G A
I'm tryin not to take it to heart
G Em
While everything is fallin apart
A
I know you wanted more
G
This time
[Verse 2]
D
Know it's been awhile since I heard from you
Bm
I know you are not talking when you're feeling blue
A
I think I get it man cuz I'm the same
G Em
When everybody else is tryna kill the pain
D
I heard you called your sister from a holdin cell
Bm
And friends from a protest say I wish you well
A
Another broken system and some killer cops
G Em
I read the papers and I cried a lot
[Chorus]
G D
Livin in the state of the art
G A
I'm tryin not to take it to heart
G Em
While everything is fallin apart
A
I know you wanted more
G
This time
[Solo]
D Bm A G Em
[Verse 3]
D
You always see the saddness behind my jokes
Bm
While all your lovely friends were busy blowing smoke
A
Rollin with the punches in a world of lies
G Em
With Johnny on the jukebox singin Born to Cry
D
Another fleetin picture of a starless night
Bm
All your dead heros couldn't get it right
A
Find a silver lining as the thunder rolls
G Em
Well the night is dark but the moon is gold
[Chorus]
G D
Livin in the state of the art
G A
I'm tryin not to take it to heart
G Em
While everything is fallin apart
A
I know you wanted more
D
I know you wanted more
A
We all want something more
G Em D
This time
[Outro]
Bm A G Em D X2
Bm A G Em
