Capo on 1. Easy to play on acoustic. Enjoy 
We wiped out all the BuCffalo
Around the turn of the last Amcentury,
And so it's Ffactories and sawgrass,
Wheat fields and asphalt laid in Gfront of me.
The Midwest feels like a Chollow place
That we filled with love and Amindustry.
And we're Fstaring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,
GSilent as the pastor reads the eulogy.
Prechorus
Well CI wanted to Gsee just a Amlittle Gbit of Feverything.
Let me be.G  
Chorus:     
Two blackbirds on a Chighway sFign
Are laughing at Amme at four in the Gmorning.
They played the war drum Cout of Ftime
So I'm not Amsure where I've been Gmarching.
I wanna be stronAmg,C  
But it's not Feasy anymore.
I'm hoping I'm Cwrong.G  F  
Verse 2:
It's sixteen hours Cstraight to home
From the heart of North AmMissouri,
And so I Fsearched through my great-grandpop's memoirs
For the devil in my Gbloodstream.
Depression grabbed his Cthroat
And choked the life out of him Amslowly.
I've got the Fsame blood coursing through my veins
And it'll come for me Geventually.
(Build up)
Prechorus 2:
I bet I'd be a fucking Ccoward.
I bet I'd never have the Amguts for war,
'Cause FI can't spend another month away from here.
These Gfrantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.
But CI, I wanted to Gknow if I could Amplease Gcome Fhome.
So let me know.G  
Two blackbirds on a Chighway sFign
Are laughing at Amme at four in the Gmorning.
They played the war drum Cout of Ftime
So I'm Amnot sure where I've been Gmarching.
I wanna be stroAmng,C  
But it's not Feasy anymore.
I'm hoping I'm Cwrong.G  F  
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Bridge:
CI know how it feels to beG  
At wFar with a world
That never loved me.
CI know how it feels to beG  
At wFar with a world
That never loved me.
Chorus 3:
Two blackbirds on a Chighway sFign
Are laughing at Amme at four in the Gmorning.
They played the war drum Cout of Ftime
So I'm Amnot sure where I've been Gmarching.
I wanna be Amstrong.C  F  
I wanna be stCrongG  
But it's not Feasy anymore.

Capo on 1. Easy to play on acoustic. Enjoy

We wiped out all the Buffalo

Around the turn of the last century,

And so it's factories and sawgrass,

Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me.

The Midwest feels like a hollow place

That we filled with love and industry.

And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,

Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy.

Prechorus

C G Am G F

Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything.

Let me be.

Chorus:

C F

Two blackbirds on a highway sign

Am G

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

I wanna be strong,

But it's not easy anymore.

C G F

I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Verse 2:

It's sixteen hours straight to home

From the heart of North Missouri,

And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs

For the devil in my bloodstream.

Depression grabbed his throat

And choked the life out of him slowly.

I've got the same blood coursing through my veins

And it'll come for me eventually.

(Build up)

Prechorus 2:

I bet I'd be a fucking coward.

I bet I'd never have the guts for war,

'Cause I can't spend another month away from here.

These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.

C G Am G F

But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home.

So let me know.

C F

Two blackbirds on a highway sign

Am G

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

I wanna be strong,

But it's not easy anymore.

C G F

I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Bridge:

C G

I know how it feels to be

At war with a world

That never loved me.

C G

I know how it feels to be

At war with a world

That never loved me.

Chorus 3:

C F

Two blackbirds on a highway sign

Am G

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 wanna be strong.

C G

I wanna be strong

But it's not easy anymore.
