Chords with lyrics
INTRO:
C majorC FF G+G
FF G+G C majorC
There's addition and subtraction
FF G+G C majorC
But division overall
FF G+G FF
Hope, once in fluid motion
Dm7Dm7 G+G
Has slowed behind a crawl
FF G+G C majorC
Oh, the images are strong now
FF G+G C majorC
The words are pretty good
FF G+G FF
But there's more fiction out of Washington
Dm7Dm7 G+G
Than out of Hollywood
CHORUS:
FF G+G C majorC
On the road of good intentions
FF G+G A minorAm FF
All gets justified to hell
C majorC FF
The price revealed in stories
G+G C majorC
Too short, too sad to tell
INTERLUDE: FF G+G C majorC FF G+G
FF GC
Is this permanent improvement
FF G+G C majorC
Through abbreviated lives
FF G+G FF
Or another tragic venture
Dm7Dm7 G+G
Shocking when the bill arrives?
FF G+G C majorC
By the rubble where the house was
FF G+G C majorC
There are markers in the dirt
FF G+G FF
Children with no need of freedom
Dm7Dm7 G+G
They can no longer be hurt
CHORUS:
FF G+G C majorC
On the road of good intentions
FF G+G A minorAm FF
All gets justified to hell
C majorC FF
The price revealed in stories
G+G C majorC
Too short, too sad to tell
INTERLUDE: FF G+G C majorC FF G+G
FF G+G C majorC
Oh, the soldiers and their families
FF G+G C majorC
With life and limb they pay
FF G+G FF
While the ones who sent them marching
Dm7Dm7 G+G
Get to dance the night away
FF G+G C majorC
I always come back to the soldiers
FF G+G C majorC
With their courage and ideals
FF G+G FF
I've seen them smoking in the airport
Dm7Dm7 G+G
There's no telling how it feels
CHORUS:
FF G+G C majorC
On the road of good intentions
FF G+G A minorAm FF
All gets justified to hell
C majorC FF
The price revealed in stories
G+G C majorC
Too short, too sad to tell
OUTRO: FF G+G C majorC
