Key: D, BmChords
D D
We wiped out all the Buffalo
Bm Bm
Around the turn of the last century,
G G
And so it's factories and sawgrass,
A A
Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me.
D D
The Midwest feels like a hollow place
Bm Bm
That we filled with love and industry.
G G
And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,
A A
Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy.


Prechorus(play chords arpegiated):
D D A A Bm Bm A A G G
Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything.
A A
Let me be.

Chorus: D D G G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Bm Bm A A
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
D D G G
They played the war drum out of time
Bm Bm A A
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
Bm Bm D D
I wanna be strong,
G G
But it's not easy anymore.
D D A A G G
I'm hoping I'm wrong.


Verse 2:
D D
It's sixteen hours straight to home
Bm Bm
From the heart of North Missouri,
G G
And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs
A A
For the devil in my bloodstream.
D D
Depression grabbed his throat
Bm Bm
And choked the life out of him slowly.
G G
I've got the same blood coursing through my veins
A A
And it'll come for me eventually.

Prechorus 2:
D D
I bet I'd be a fucking coward.
Bm Bm
I bet I'd never have the guts for war,
G G
'Cause I can't spend another month away from here.
A A
These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.
D D A A Bm Bm A A G G
But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home.
A A
So let me know.

D D G G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Bm Bm A A
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
D D G G
They played the war drum out of time
Bm Bm A A
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
Bm Bm D D
I wanna be strong,
G G
But it's not easy anymore.
D D A A G G
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
(palm muted G G powerchord)
I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Bridge:
D D A A
I know how it feels to be
G G
At war with a world

That never loved me.

D D A A
I know how it feels to be
G G
At war with a world

That never loved me.

Chorus 3:
D D G G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Bm Bm A A
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
D D G G
They played the war drum out of time
Bm Bm A A
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
Bm Bm D D G G
I wanna be strong.
D D A A
I wanna be strong
G G
But it's not easy anymore.
