Intro:

C#m E F# G# x2

Verse 1:

C#m                      E
We were just kids playin cops and robbers
       F#                   G#
Didn′t need no other friends
        C#m               E
Passing notes beneath the teacher's nose
       F#                  G#
Didn′t hear a word she said

Verse 2:

                 A
But then I left home and you
     B
You couldn't move
        G#m              G#
Did you feel left behind?
                 A
What you're goin on about
  B
I can′t make out
         G#m              G#
But man, you know I′ll try

Verse 3:

 C#m                     E
         Cuz there was a time when
       F#                 G#
We had each other's backs
C#m                    E
But now you don′t even meet my eye
         F#
When the myth becomes
    G#
The myth becomes a fact

[Instrumental]
C#m E F# G# x2

Verse 4:
     C#m                   E
Your tattoo sleeve, "don't tread on me,"
   F#                G#
Is faded from the sun
        C#m           E
And the hydrocodone′s wearing thin
       F#             G#
So you pop another one

Verse 5:
                  A
And that's when I search your eyes
        B
For the kid who cried
         G#m                    G#
But your skin is so much rougher
              A
Why does that little boy
        B
Who was scared of noise
        G#m                     Gm
Drive a truck without a muffler?

Verse 6:

C#m                           E
         Cuz there was a time when
   F#                     G#
We had each other's backs
    C#m                E
But now you don′t even meet my eye
         F#
When the myth becomes
    G#
The myth becomes:

Verse 7:

            D               E
How you saw both sides on January six
        F#
And you just don't mind he′s a convict
       D                     E
Cuz he dignifies the way you think
       F#
And he sells what you buy, so you buy it quick

       D                     E
But he robs you blind and he tries to pit
     C#7                         F#       E
Blue collar whites against inner city kids
G
Your country pride is your downfall
        G#                      C#m
Cuz the super rich divide us all


Verse 8:

C#m                     E
         Cuz there was a time when
       F#                 G#
We had each other's backs
C#m                    E
But now you don′t even meet my eye
         F#
When the myth becomes
    G#
The myth becomes a fact


Verse 9:

C#m                 E
        there was a time when
       F#                 G#
We had each other's backs
C#m                    E
But now you don′t even meet my eye
         F#
When the myth becomes
    G#
The myth becomes a fact
