(No Lyrics)

Verse 1:
                 Dm
Let's start with hope
                             Dm
I threw in the middle like a skipping stone
    Dm           Dm
The ripples won, son of a gun
Dm
Some would not have thought so
      A                       A7
But I stand here commander in chief.
                Dm
And I take that seriously

Verse 2:
              Dm
But along the way
        Dm
A rogue ripple turned tidal wave
   Dm                  Dm
In reaction to, what I tried to do
  Dm
A rebirth of a nation's hatred
A                         A7
Red, white, and blue. Is black in there too?
Dm
   Seriously?

Dm

Bridge 1:
F
One man
              A
Rewriting the book on bad behavior
Dm
    Maybe cheats the neighbors
A#
    Feels he gets what they payed for
F
We can't
               A
Pat him on the back and send him on through,
Dm                        A#
  No man's ignorance will ever be his virtue

        A
Is this best we can be?
A7                Dm
     Seriously?

Verse 3:
              Dm
Let's talk of fear
          Dm
And why I don't bring it in here
       Dm                 Dm
It's a dangerous word, it spooks the heard
       Dm
And we all bleed in the stampede
A                                  A7
Fear makes a false friend indeed
              Dm
And I take it seriously

Pre-bridge:
            Dm
But hear me now,
           Dm
Before the truth gets drowned out
     Dm
By a demagogue flexing
  Dm
A demagogue flexing
     A                  A7
He's history repeating

Bridge 2:
F
Angry?
     A
Am I angry?
               Dm
You ask if I'm angry.
    A#
And I'm at a loss for words

      F
After all we've done,
      A
Every battle hard one,
      Dm
Every hair gone gray
        A#
In this name of this place
     F
In a history plagued
        A
With in-credible mistakes
        Dm
Still I pledge my allegiance to these
  A                      A7
U-nited Divided States
Dm
Seriously?

Dm

Verse 4:
               Dm
Let's end with why
       Dm
It's a question I
        Dm              Dm
Want to ask of us, as a populace
Dm
Why not take our time
       A                      A7
Or the weight of the story...

N.C.
