The Devil In My Bloodstream
half step down
First Tab 100% correct
C Am
We wiped out all the buffalo around the turn of the last century
F G
And so it's factories and sawgrass, wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me
C Am
The midwest feels like a hollow place 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 Am G F
Well I, I wanted to see just a little bit of everything
G
Let me be
C F Am G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign are laughing at me at four in the morning
C F
They played the war drum out of time
Am G
So I'm not sure where I've been marching
Am C F
I want to be strong, but it's not easy anymore
C G F
I'm hoping I'm wrong
C Am
It's sixteen hours straight to home from the heart of north Missouri
F
And so I search through my great-grandpa's memoirs
G
For the devil in my bloodstream
C Am
Depression grabbed his throat and choked the life out of him slowly
F
I got the same blood coursing through my veins
G
It'll come for me eventually
[Power Chords now] D
I bet I'd be a f**king coward
Am
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 Am G F
But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home
G
So let me know
[Chorus]
C G F
I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me
C G F
I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me
