When I heard the news, my heart fell on the floor
BB C# minorC#m
I was on a plane, on my way to Baltimore
A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE
In these troubled times it's hard enough as is
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
My soul has known a better life than this
A augmentedA E MajorE
I wondered how so many could be in so much pain
BB C# minorC#m
While others don't seem to feel a thing
A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE
And then I curse my whiteness and I get so damn depressed
A augmentedA E MajorE BB
In a world of suffering why should I be so blessed
Bridge: A augmentedA - C# minorC#m - X3
A augmentedA - E MajorE -
I heard about a woman who lives in Colorado
She built a monument of sorrow behind her garage door
Where every day she prays for all whom are born
And all who souls are passed on
Sometimes my trouble gets so thick
I can't see how I'm gonna get through it
But then I would rather be stuck up in a tree
Then be tied to it
Bridge: A augmentedA - C# minorC#m - X2
A augmentedA - C# minorC#m - (do do do do do)
A augmentedA - C# minorC#m - (I know)
A augmentedA - C# minorC#m - X2
A augmentedA - C# minorC#m - (there is so much more)
A augmentedA - E MajorE -
I don't feel comfortable with the way that my clothes fit
I can't get used to my body's limits
I got some fancy shoes to try and kick away these blues
They cost a lot of money, but they aren't worth a thing
I want to free my feet from the broken glass and concrete
I need to get out of this city
Lay upon the ground stare a whole in the sky
Wondering where I go when I die
When I die
Bridge: A augmentedA - C# minorC#m - X3
A augmentedA - E MajorE -
E MajorE to finish
