Chords with lyrics
Intro Bsus2Bsus2
Bsus2Bsus2
The lakes and pines, they bleed of beauty and grace
Bsus2Bsus2
and the rivers, they run wild like an endless race
Bsus2Bsus2
the forrests soar so high then fall to the sea
Bsus2Bsus2
as church bells ring and sing in harmony
F#F#
I heard them say they're shutting Detroit down
C#C#
but I won't leave, cause this is my hometown.
F#F#
And its times like these we can't replace,
F#F#
It's times like these we must embrace,
BB
And even though its bittersweet and brings us to our knees,
F#F#
It makes us who we are, in times like these.

Bsus2Bsus2
The concrete and steel stand strong against the wind,
Bsus2Bsus2
with the memories of what was and what has been,
Bsus2Bsus2
the sounds of sweet soul music and blue collar blues,
Bsus2Bsus2
there was 17 colors for a chevy on a red, white, & blue,
F#F#
I heard them say that you can't save that town,
C#C#
but I won't leave, I will stand my ground.
F#F#
And its times like these we can't replace,
F#F#
It's times like these we must embrace,
BB
And even though its bittersweet and brings us to our knees,
F#F#
It makes us who we are, in times like these.

[Solo seems to be based in F#F# Major Penatonic Scale]
Bsus2Bsus2
The ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom
Bsus2Bsus2
and the wake that hope and faith, they will be home soon,
Bsus2Bsus2
a new day dawns as the good lord shines from above,
Bsus2Bsus2
cause in the rubble in rust there remains a whole lot of love,
F#F#
and I was here watching it all go down,
C#C#
and I'll still be when it comes back around.
F#F#
And its times like these we can't replace,
F#F#
It's times like these we must embrace,
BB
And even though its bittersweet and brings us to our knees,
F#F#
It makes us who we are, in times like these.
