Forever Half Mast chords by Lucy Dacus

Verse:


A
I'm taking back roads

            E
All the way back home

            Fm
Everything I’ve known

            E           D
Just a little overgrown

               A
I didn't choose this town

            E
I can undo it now

            Fm
I try to love the beast

                 E            D
No matter what it thinks of me

                 A                   E
You're worried that you’ll go to hell

                Fm                  D
For all the lives that you can't save

                A              E
For all the money that you waste

                Fm              D
For all the good you throw away


Chorus:


A                            A     A     D
Yes, you're evil but you're not that bad

Fm                                   E       E      D
You put out your palm more than the back of your hand

A                                A      A     D
They were wrong when they said "forget the past"

Fm                    E        E        D
Let your flag fly at forever half mast

Fm                    E        E        A
Let your flag fly at forever half mast


Instrumental:

A   E   Fm   D


Verse:


A
We're in a state of disarray

             E
United by our darkest days

             Fm
Aching from the growing pains

              E                 D
They always say it's just a phase

              A
America, the tried and true

              E
Red and white and black and blue

              Fm
Tell me, who did this to you?

            E            D
If it was me, I hardly knew


Chorus:


A                           A     A     D
Yes, you're evil but you're not that bad

Fm                                   E       E     D
You put out your palm more than the back of your hand

A                                A      A     D
They were wrong when they said "forget the past"

Fm                    E        E      D
Let your flag fly at forever half mast

Fm                    E        E          A     Dm    D
Let your flag fly at forever half mast
