            A
I'm taking back roads
             E
All the way back home
           F#m
Everything I’ve known
              E        D
Just a little overgrown
           A
I didn't choose this town
         E
I can undo it now
          F#m
I try to love the beast
                    E        D
No matter what it thinks of me
                 A                   E
You're worried that you’ll go to hell
                      F#m           D
For all the lives that you can't save
                    A           E
For all the money that you waste
                 F#m           D
For all the good you throw away

Chorus:
A                                     D
Yes, you're evil but you're not that bad
F#m
You put out your palm more than
     E            D
the back of your hand
A                                           D
They were wrong when they said "forget the past"
F#m                    E           D
Let your flag fly at forever half mast
F#m                     E          A
Let your flag fly at forever half mast

We're in a state of disarray united by our
darkest days
Aching from the growing pains, they always
say it's just a phase
America, the tried and true, red and white
and black and blue
Tell me, who did this to you? If it was me,
I hardly knew

Chorus

All for one and one for all
Nobody escaped the fall
Wait for something magical
Mistake turned into miracle
