The Wonder Years - The Devil In My Bloodstream

Key - C#

           C#
We wiped out all the Buffalo
              A#m
Around the turn of the last century,
      F#
And so it's factories and sawgrass,
                 G#
Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me.
             C#
The Midwest feels like a hollow place
               A#m
That we filled with love and industry.
     F#
And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,
G#
Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy.
  F#     G#      A#m  G#   F#
Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything.
    G#
Let me be.

          C#   F#
Two blackbirds on a highway sign
        A#m        G#
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.
             C#   F#
They played the war drum out of time
    A#m            G#
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
      A#m         F#
I wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore.
         C#     G#    F#
I'm hoping I'm wrong.


          C#
It's sixteen hours straight to home
            A#m
From the heart of North Missouri,
     F#
And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs
          G#
For the devil in my bloodstream.
            C#
Depression grabbed his throat
                A#m
And choked the life out of him slowly.
       F#
I've got the same blood coursing through my veins
            G#
And it'll come for me eventually.


            C#
I bet I'd be a fucking coward.
             A#m
I bet I'd never have the guts for war,
       F#
'Cause I can't spend another month away from here.
   G#
These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.
  F#       G#       A#m  G#  F#
But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home.
      G#
So let me know.


          C#   F#

        A#m        G#

             C#   F#

    A#m           G#
So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
      A#m   C#       F#
I wanna be strong,  but it's not easy anymore.
         C#     G#    F#
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
         C#     G#    F#
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
