Verse:
G#G#                   E MajorE          F#F#
As the tears welled up in my eyes, something hit me that tore me up inside
G#G#                  E MajorE              F#F#        E MajorE
Misled, deceived, we all turned out backs on those we should respect and send back home
        F#F#            E MajorE
This is not a game that anyone should play
            F#F#                 G#G#
Blood spills on the ground and all our hands are dripping now

Chorus:
  G#G#        BB       E MajorE       F#F#
I can't wipe them clean, I somehow feel responsible
   G#G#      BB                 E MajorE        F#F#
In a time of disarray I wrote it off and said this feeling will fade away
        G#G#      BB      F#F#
But to my dismay, I still feel responsible
      G#G#         BB         E MajorE        F#F#
I didn't take my duty seriously and now this feeling won't go away
       G#G#
It won't go away

Verse:
G#G#               E MajorE        F#F#         G#G#
"In time everything will be alright, he's no better than the other guy"
           E MajorE    F#F#           E MajorE
Shame on me! The apathetic American they want me to be
       F#F#             E MajorE
I'm a bad cliche that too many of us portray
           F#F#                 G#G#
Blood spills on the gound and all our hands are dripping now

Chorus:
  G#G#        BB       E MajorE       F#F#
I can't wipe them clean, I somehow feel responsible
   G#G#      BB                 E MajorE        F#F#
In a time of disarray I wrote it off and said this feeling will fade away
        G#G#      BB      F#F#
But to my dismay, I still feel responsible
      G#G#         BB         E MajorE        F#F#
I didn't take my duty seriously and now this feeling won't go away
       G#G#
It won't go away

Bridge:
E minorEm         F#F#       D#D#
I won't make the same mistake again
             G#G#
I'll learn to speak my mind
   E minorEm     F#F#       D#D#
I'm never going down without a fight

Chorus:
  G#G#        BB       E MajorE       F#F#
I can't wipe them clean, I somehow feel responsible
   G#G#      BB                 E MajorE        F#F#
In a time of disarray I wrote it off and said this feeling will fade away
        G#G#      BB      F#F#
But to my dismay, I still feel responsible
      G#G#         BB         E MajorE        F#F#
I didn't take my duty seriously and now this feeling won't go away

No, this feeling won't go away
