The Devil In My Bloodstream
half step down
First Tab 100% correct
[Verse]
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
**
Well I, I wanted to see just a little bit of everything
Let me be
[Chorus]
Two blackbirds on a highway sign are laughing at me at four in the morning
They played the war drum out of time
So I m not sure where I ve been marching
I want to be strong, but it s not easy anymore
I m hoping I m wrong
[Verse]
It s sixteen hours straight to home from the heart of north Missouri
And so I search through my great-grandpa s memoirs
For the devil in my bloodstream
Depression grabbed his throat and choked the life out of him slowly
I got the same blood coursing through my veins
It ll come for me eventually
[Power Chords now] D
I bet I d be a ing 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
But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home
So let me know
[Chorus]
I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me
I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me
