But there's a hole that I can't keep shut

C#m

Shut

I can't keep shut

[Verse]

I wear fucked on my sleeve

A B E

I hate what I can't change

There's a difference between running from something

And searching for anything

After all our rain dances left us

Begging the gods for more

That this country got the best of my morals

F#m A

It would kill me to tell you

F#m

Out of fifty states

A B

I only feel right in one

[Chorus]

Sometimes "why?" is a question

B C#m G#m

That I wish I

never even learned
