[Intro]
Cm Cm Cm Cm
(No Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
Cm
Let's start with hope
Cm
I threw in the middle like a skipping stone
Cm Cm
The ripples won, son of a gun
Cm
Some would not have thought so
G G7
But I stand here commander in chief.
Cm
And I take that seriously

[Verse 2]
Cm
But along the way
Cm
A rogue ripple turned tidal wave
Cm Cm
In reaction to, what I tried to do
Cm
A rebirth of a nation's hatred
G G7
Red, white, and blue. Is black in there too?
Cm
Seriously?

Cm

[Bridge 1]
Eb
One man
G
Rewriting the book on bad behavior
Cm
Maybe cheats the neighbors
Ab
Feels he gets what they payed for
Eb
We can't
G
Pat him on the back and send him on through,
Cm Ab
No man's ignorance will ever be his virtue

G
Is this best we can be?
G7 Cm
Seriously?

[Verse 3]
Cm
Let's talk of fear
Cm
And why I don't bring it in here
Cm Cm
It's a dangerous word, it spooks the heard
Cm
And we all bleed in the stampede
G G7
Fear makes a false friend indeed
Cm
And I take it seriously

[Pre-bridge]
Cm
But hear me now,
Cm
Before the truth gets drowned out
Cm
By a demagogue flexing
Cm
A demagogue flexing
G G7
He's history repeating

[Bridge 2]
Eb
Angry?
G
Am I angry?
Cm
You ask if I'm angry.
Ab
And I'm at a loss for words

Eb
After all we've done,
G
Every battle hard one,
Cm
Every hair gone gray
Ab
In this name of this place
Eb
In a history plagued
G
With in-credible mistakes
Cm
Still I pledge my allegiance to these
Ab G G7
U-nited Divided States
Cm
Seriously?

Cm

[Verse 4]
Cm
Let's end with why
Cm
It's a question I
Cm Cm
Want to ask of us, as a populace
Cm
Why not take our time
G G7
Or the weight of the story...

N.C.
...Seriously
