[Verse 1]
I Ggrew up with reverence for the Cred, white, and blue
Spoke of FGod and liberty, Greciting the pledge of Callegiance
Learned Glove of country from my Cown family
Some Fshivered and prayed Gapproaching the beaches of CNormandy
The Gflag waves high and that's Chow it should be
So Fmany lives given and Gtaken in the name of Cfreedom
But the Gstory's complicated and Chard to read
FPages of the book Gobscured or torn out completelCy G
[Chorus]
I am a Cson of Guncle CSam
And I CstruGggle to Funderstand the Cgood Gand Fevil
But I'm Cdoing the Gbest I Ccan
In a Cplace Gbuilt on Fstolen land with CstoGlen Fpeople
[Post-Chorus]
CBlood in the soil with the Gcotton and tobacco
GBlood in the soil with the Ccotton and tobacco
FBlood in the soil with the Gcotton and tobacco F
[Verse 2]
A Gmisnamed people and a Ckidnapped race
FLaws may change, but we Gcan't erase the scars of a Cnation
Of Gchildren devalued and Cdisavowed
FDisplaced by greed and the Garrogance of manifest Cdestiny
GShort-sighted to say it was a Clong time ago
Not Feven two life times have Gpassed since the days of CLincoln
The Gsins of Andrew Jackson, the Fshame of Jim Crow
And Ftime moves slow when the Gtragedies are beyond Cdescription G
[Chorus]
I am a Cson of Guncle CSam
And I CstruGggle to Funderstand the Cgood Gand Fevil
But I'm Cdoing the Gbest I Ccan
In a Cplace Gbuilt on Fstolen land with CstoGlen Fpeople
We are Ammore Gthan the Csum of our Fparts
All these Ambroken Ghomes and Cbroken Fhearts
God, will you Amkeep Gus Cwherever we Fgo?
Will you forAmgive Gus for Cwhere we've Fbeen?
We GAmericans
[Post-Chorus]
CBlood on the table with the Gcoffee and the sugar
GBlood on the table with the Ccoffee and the sugar
FBlood on the table with the Gcoffee and the sugar F
[Verse 3]
I've Gbeen to every state and Cseen shore to shore
The Fstill open wounds of the GCivil War
GWatched blind hatred Cbounce back and forth
FSeen vile prejudice Gboth in the south and the Cnorth
And Gaccountability is Chard to impose
On Fghosts of ancestors Ghaunting the halls of our Cconscience
But the Gpath of grace and goodCwill is still here
For Fthose of us who may be Gconsidered among the Cliving C C/B Am G
[Chorus]
I am a Cson of GGod and Cman
And I Cmay Gnever Funderstand the Cgood Gand Fevil
But I Cdearly Glove this Cland
CBecause Gof Fand in spite of CWe GThe FPeople
We are Ammore Gthan the Csum of our Fparts
All these Ambroken Gbones and Cbroken Fhearts

Can you forAmgive Gus for Cwhere we've Fbeen?

[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Here I am standing, Am/Ften feet Cbetween us
Beside me, the door Am/Fthat I just came Cthrough
Where I walked past an overweight Am/Fcop in an Calley
With a beer gut bursting from a Am/Fbullet proof Cjacket
Who thinks to himself, "I've Am/Fgot to get Cback
[Refrain]
To the man that I was when Am/FI was a Cdreamer"
G* C
With a partner in crime named Brandy McGill
[Verse 2]
A girl with a love of life Am/Fbigger than Cnormal
Who still wonders when her Am/Flife will Cbegin
Her best friend Maria who sAm/Feems to have Ceverything
Tells her she probably just Am/Fneeds a Cvacation
Away from the stress of her Am/Fhusband's Cvocation
While Maria is talking, Am/FBrandy is Cdrifting
Staring at John who Am/Fjust got the Cjob
Busing tables to pay for Am/FCommunity CCollege
An Associates degree in Am/Fx-ray Ctechnology
GJohn is too old to G7still be in college
F G* C
He doesn't like class and sometimes doesn't go
[Refrain]
Long story short, his Am/Ffamily was Cbroken
G* C
He was freed from a past life as a kid on Skid Row
[Verse 3]
He notices Brandy, but Am/Fstares atC Maria
Her beauty well-practiced in Am/Fcasting a Cspell
Imagining her naked, he Am/Fspills dirty Cdishes
G* C
On the lap of an elderly woman named Belle
A lady who won't live to Am/Fsee her nextC birthday
But shares a warm smile Am/Fregardless of Cthat
[Refrain]
The mess that unfolds Am/Fcompletely surrounds Cher
C* G* C
Not one bit of urgency enters her soul
She reaches for Roy, her Am/Fhusband Cforever
G* C
In love and connection, her small hand, he holds
[Bridge]
C Am/F C
C Csus2/B C
C Am/F C
C Csus2/B C
[Verse 4]
And nothing comes of it but a Am/Fmanagers' Canger
Not for the mess, but her Am/Ffather's Cremark
About a bad grade that she Am/Fhad as a Cchild
So she takes her revenge out by Am/Ffiring CJohn
Who now wonders when his Am/Flife will Cbegin
[Refrain]
GAin't it confusing to G7search for the will
F G* C
And learn when you find it that you've lost your way?
Long story short, he Am/Fsaw a Ccommercial
C* G* C
That said that the 20s are the prime of your life
[Verse 5]
But that doesn't seem to be Am/Ftrue at this Cmoment
As he cleans out his locker and Am/Fcalls his best Cfriend
Who's too busy to talk cause he's Am/Fprepping with Clawyers
To keep money from his Am/Fex-wife, the Cmother
Of their only son who's Am/Fnaturally Cdrawn
[Refrain]
To guns and sharp objects who Am/Fnow has no Cfather
G* C
Except for on weekends, two times a month
[Outro]
No need to worry, I'm Am/Ftold we're Cprotected
By the men passing laws in the Am/FHouse and the CSenate
From people who mix up the Am/Ftruth and Creality
With movies and games and Am/Fridiculous Cscenarios
GLong story short, G7best I can tell
F G* C
Children can't be left to raise themselves

[Chorus]
AI'm a-high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my wDheels
EOvernightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mAind
[Verse 1]
IA'm an outsider lookin' in
I got a perfect square for a circle of friends
It's the four of us against the rest of yDou
EBut really I am all alone
I'd sell 'em out to save my own
I told them that but they don't buy the truAth
[Chorus]
AI'm a-high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my whDeels
EOvernightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mAind
[Interlude]
N.C.Well it's warfare out there, folks
You're either working for success
Or to be rich or, God help us, famous
N.C.Or you're working against the clock just to stay afloat
Got your nose all scraped up from the grindstone
You're digging for diamonds and only finding rhinestones
N.C.Meanwhile it's August and the tax man has never heard of summer vacation
You're either working on yourself or you're lookin' after babies
Takin' care of your old man or your old lady
N.C.And the direct line to the hospital just says "Leave a message"
See, you can only live one day at a time
Only drive one hot rod at a time
N.C.Only say one word at a time
And only think one thought at a time
And every soul is alone when the day becomes night
N.C.And there in the dark if you can try to see the light
In the most pitch black shape of the loneliest shadow
Well then you ought to sleep well
N.C.'Cause there's hope for sure
Well I don't know about all that being true but
I do know this
[Verse 2]
DThe best beggars are cAhoosers
DThe best winners are lAosers
DThe best lovers aEin't never been loAved
DAnd first place ain't eAasy
DThe hard part is bAelieving
DThe very last word is lEove
[Chorus]
AI'm a-high steppin', high bettin'
Love givin', I'm a-love gettin'
I'm a stranger, I love stretchin' out my whDeels
EOvernightin' on the desert strip
Makin' time and losin' grip
Drivin' circles in the canyons of my mAind

[Intro]
D7 x4
[Chorus]
It Gused to Cbe a Gman's world, but we Cdidn't treat it Gright
It Gused to Cbe a Gman's world, but Amall we did was D7fight
I'm Cglad it's finally in the hands of the Gwomen D/F#and the Cgirls
I can't Amwait to see Dwhat they do with what's Cleft Dof the Gworld F G
[Verse 1]
BmLadies, I'm Emsorry, but we Ccouldn’t seem to Glearn
CHow to live in Gpeace, so BmRome had to burn
And we Ccared about clean Gair, but there was Bmmoney to be Emmade
And bCreathing's nice, but it Gdon't compare with Bmgetting paid
HmmCmmmmD7m
[Chorus]
It Gused to Cbe a Gman's world, but we Cdidn't treat it Gright
It Gused to Cbe a Gman's world, but Amall we did was D7fight
I'm Cglad it's finally in the hands of the Gwomen D/F#and the Cgirls
I can't Amwait to see Dwhat they do with what's Cleft Dof the Gworld F G
[Verse 2]
BmPlease, I beg your Empardon, but weC got a bit confGused
Some of our bCrothers thought our Gsisters were born for gBmetting used
Then Cwe made the asGsumption that's Bmhow it should be Emdone
Then Ctried to exGcuse ourselves in the Bmname of fun
Don't get me wCrong, hope ain'tG fully gone
Scores of dCecent men bD7uilt the road I'm sGtanding on
But a Flot of it has crumbled through pEmrideful mistakes
And aFshes cover much of what the floDoding didn't take
[Interlude]
C D G x4
[Verse 3]
I Bmknow that we are giEmving you a Clot to straighten Gout
TheC silver lining Gbroke away from the Bmthunder cloud
And it Ctook us a few tGhousand years to Bmmake a mess so Emfine
I Ambet y'all sort it out in less than D7half the time
[Chorus]
It Gused to Cbe a Gman's world, excCess in the extrGeme
Oh, it Gused to Cbe a Gman's world, but Amwe ran out of D7steam
We Ccouldn't seem to reach the grace that's Gborn in D/F#every Cgirl
Still, AmI hope that I can D7lend a hand in this Cnew wD7oman's wGorld
Let me Amknow if I can D7help out in this Cnew wD7oman's wGorld

[Verse]
GI can't take the criticism
I'm Ceaten up with cynicism
EmAll the colors in the prism Amentering my D7eyes
CStill can't D7change my Gmind
I'm a Gstubborn goat getting older
A Ccube of ice getting colder
A Emfrozen heart and frozen shoulders, Amthat is what I've D7got
CA sweetheart D7I am Gnot
Now I'll Gsoften when it Cpays the bills
I'll Glove you in exCchange for thrills
Our Gservice calls, Cwithdrawal kills
I can Gsmell fresh blood from Cmiles Gaway
[Chorus]
GI can't Cbe locked D7up this Gway,
GI can't Cbe locked D7up this Gway
GI can't Cbe locked D7up like Gthis, oh, no,
GI can't Cbe locked D7up this Gway
[Verse]
GNow I have been their slave but I'm tired of workin'
CA jackhammer tired of jerking
I'm a Embooty-shaker tired of twerking, Amyou can laugh all you D7want
CSoon enough, though, D7I'll be Ggone
I'm a Gdying fly on the wall
I'm a Cteenage girl who just won't call
I'm a Emdeflated basketball, no Amneedle to be D7found
CAnd I just D7want to be Ground

So I can Groam, so I can Cbounce
So I can Amroll out of this D7town

Now I'm the Gworst ship that was ever built
I started Csinking soon as the champagne spilled
All the Emdirty secrets in my quilt, they won't Amcome out in the D7wash
SomeCbody D7help, my Ggosh
I'm a Gbeating heart off the beaten path
The Cgod of shame, fear my wrath
Can my Emfilthy soul take a bath Amin the light of D7you?
CIn the D7light of Gtruth?
CIn the D7light of Gyou
[Chorus]
GNo, I can't Cbe locked D7up like Gthis,

GI can't Cbe locked D7up this Gway, oh, no,
