Intro:

Em C G D

Honey I swear it's not my fualt

Em C G D

They shut us down, the big door was locked.

The bigger the dream

The bigger the trap

D Em C G D

The bigger the black in disappointment

Em C G D

I crossed my fingers 'til they were broke

Em C G D

I threw a brick the arc formed so slow

Outside the mall

In my defense

All that money can buy

Em C G

I wish I'd done something with my life

Something safe, it's so useless.

My eyes were blue, now they're bruises

Em C

A silver cross on tan wet skin

G D

I'm thirsty thinking I should climb in

You're on your side facing the wall

Em C G

Our room disappears between the streetlights

Em G

Come the pride

Come the fall

We volunteer

We've been spittin' out American dirt

Spittin' out American dirt

All that money can buy

Spittin' out American dirt

All that money can buy

Em C D
