intro:
C C, Em Em, Am Am, F F,

Verse 1:
C C Em Em
Milemarker twenty-seven says we’re on the way to Heaven

Am Am F F
And I smile at the passenger seat

C C
Forty miles from Chicago

Em Em
There is snow on the windshield

Am Am F F
And you’re downtown dragging your feet

C C Em Em
Now I’m circling the block around Union Central Station

Am Am F F
And there are bullets flying into the car

C C Em Em
It’s the same as it’s always been

Am Am F F
It’s the same as it’s always been

C C
Two-hundred miles from Chicago:

Em Em
There is blood on the windshield

Am Am F F
And I am reeling as you gather your things

C C
I said I don’t know what to do anymore

Em Em
As if I knew what to do before

Am Am F F
I can f*ck up almost anything

Chorus 1:

C C Em Em Am Am F F
I don’t think that I would exactly call it love

C C Em Em
But it’s dripping down my consciousness

Am Am F F
Miss, you’re slipping down my lungs

Verse 2:
C C Em Em
I want to build you a protest out of sticks and rocks

Am Am F F
I find in the backyard behind the house you grew up in

C C Em Em
In loving memory of all our nonconformity

C C Em Em
I want to sing you a signal that reaches only the ears

Am Am F F
Of young disenfranchised straight white boys

C C Em Em
Because that would feel normal,

Am Am F F
and none of this does

Chorus 2:

C C Em Em Am Am F F
I don’t think that I would exactly call it love

C C Em Em
But it’s dripping down my consciousness

Am Am F F
As you’re slipping down my lungs

C C Em Em Am Am F F
So save it for a rainy day and maybe then you’ll see

C C Em Em Am Am F F
That I am like the earth, old man, there’s no way around me

C C
But even in my dreams

Em Em
I still don’t know the difference between

Am Am F F
What it is I want and what it is I need

C C
I wanna see you be brave

Em Em
I wanna see you surviving

Am Am
I wanna see both of us

F F
Prospering and thriving separately

C C Em Em
I want the catharsis of knowing

Am Am F F
Something bad’s about to happen

C C Em Em Am Am F F
But also knowing that I can’t do anything about it

C C Em Em
Because your new house just don’t shut

Am Am F F
Quite like the one you grew up in used to

C C Em Em
I wanna come and visit

Am Am F F C C
I wanna see this through, but

Em Em Am Am F F
I never will because you’re just not what I need

C C Em Em
And I am just not what you want

Am Am F F
Though you’re in everyone I meet and

C C Em Em
We’ll say fuck the banks but we’ll still use them every day

Am Am
And when we fight amongst ourselves

F F
The banks will say "Okay

C C Em Em Am Am F F
Have you been spending all your capital on causes you deem just? You keep

C C Em Em Am Am F F
doing what you can, we’ll keep doing what we must."

C C Em Em
So despite what you have learned

Am Am F F
In songs for which you’d take a bullet

C C Em Em
You won’t find objective truth

Am Am F F
In a final rhyming couplet

C C Em Em Am Am F F
A A couplet, a couplet, a coupleeeeeeeeeeet...
