The Wonder Years - The Devil In My Bloodstream

Key - C#

C#We (x43121@1)wiped out all the Buffalo
                            A#mAround (x13321@1)the turn of the last century,
            F#And (244322@1)so it's factories and sawgrass,
                                 G#Wheat (xx1114@1)fields and asphalt laid in front of me.
                          C#The (x43121@1)Midwest feels like a hollow place
                             A#mThat (x13321@1)we filled with love and industry.
          F#And (244322@1)we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,
G#Silent (xx1114@1)as the pastor reads the eulogy.
    F# (244322@1)        G# (xx1114@1)         A#m (x13321@1) G# (xx1114@1)   F#Well (244322@1)I wanted to see just a little bit of everything.
       G#Let (xx1114@1)me be.

C# (x43121@1)    F#Two (244322@1)blackbirds on a highway sign
                A#m (x13321@1)             G#Are (xx1114@1)laughing at me at four in the morning.
                         C# (x43121@1)   F#They (244322@1)played the war drum out of time
       A#m (x13321@1)                     G#So (xx1114@1)I'm not sure where I've been marching.
           A#m (x13321@1)                F#I (244322@1)wanna be strong, but it's not easy anymore.
                  C# (x43121@1)       G# (xx1114@1)      F#I'm (244322@1)hoping I'm wrong.

C#It's (x43121@1)sixteen hours straight to home
                        A#mFrom (x13321@1)the heart of North Missouri,
         F#And (244322@1)so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs
                    G#For (xx1114@1)the devil in my bloodstream.
                        C#Depression (x43121@1)grabbed his throat
                               A#mAnd (x13321@1)choked the life out of him slowly.
             F#I've (244322@1)got the same blood coursing through my veins
                       G#And (xx1114@1)it'll come for me eventually.

C#I (x43121@1)bet I'd be a fucking coward.
                         A#mI (x13321@1)bet I'd never have the guts for war,
              F#'Cause (244322@1)I can't spend another month away from here.
      G#These (xx1114@1)frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.
    F# (244322@1)           G# (xx1114@1)            A#m (x13321@1)  G# (xx1114@1) F#But (244322@1)I, I wanted to know if I could please come home.
           G#So (xx1114@1)let me know.
