Em    G  Em  D  C  B

           Em           C B
I'm gonna fight 'em all
               Em                     C       B
a seven nation army couldn't hold me back
              Em             C       B
They're gonna rip it off
              Em                   C       B
Taking their time right behind my back
        Em                    C
And I'm talking to myself at night
           B        Em      C       B
Because I can't forget
          Em
Back and forth through my mind
    C     B   Em             C       B
Behind a cigarette
         G                     A
And the message coming from my eyes
                  Em    G  Em  D  C  B
Says, "Leave it alone"

Em    G  Em  D  C  B

            Em            C B
Don't wanna hear about it
             Em                    C    B
Every single one's got a story to tell
           Em           C
Everyone knows about it
  B              Em                        C   B
From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell
          Em                      C
And if I catch it coming back my way
           B           Em      C  B
I'm gonna serve it to you
         Em                      C
And that ain't what you want to hear
             B        Em
But that's what I'll do
         G                      A
And the feeling coming from my bones
               Em    G  Em  D  C  B
Says, "Find a home"

Em    G  Em  D  C  B

              Em         C
I'm going to Wichita
B            Em            C    B
Far from this opera forevermore
           Em             C
I'm gonna work the straw
B               Em                C    B
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
          Em
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding,
          C
and I'm bleeding
        B        Em       C  B
Right before the Lord
         Em                         C
All the words are gonna bleed from me
           B       Em    C  B
And I will sing no more

          G                    A
And the stains coming from my blood
                   Em    G  Em  D  C  B
Tell me, "Go back home"

Em    G  Em  D  C  B
