This one's the last track off of Boneclouds, fun and easy to play.  Like most of 
Mason's songs, he usually plays it a half step down but I think it sounds fine in 
standard tuning as well.
Verse 1
G (320003@1)            EmJesus, (022000@1)are you real?
C (x32010@1)             GDid (320003@1)we make you up?

                  G (320003@1)           DIn (xx0232@1)a little truck stop in Tennessee
                Em (022000@1)             CAnd (x32010@1)bombs are crashing down in waves
      G (320003@1)         DOn (xx0232@1)a giant TV screen

Em (022000@1)      
And I am struck I cannot
C (x32010@1)              Gmove (320003@1)to make it stop
            D (xx0232@1)             Em (022000@1)           CWhat (x32010@1)can I do?  People are dying in their beds

            Em (022000@1)              CAnd (x32010@1)nurses checked in by the hour
