[Verse 1]
Am
Can you face it?
Dm
Can you embrace it?
C
You can't replace - nope
F
The time you've wasted
Am
This panorama
Dm
Portland to Alabama
C
The ground you're standing
F
To protect your family
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C G
You double down when your back's against the wall
Dm C F
You double down when you hear the dealer call

[Verse 2]
Am Dm
I put my faith in only things that I can see
C F
And trust my eyes aren't playing tricks on me
Am Dm
Down in the desert, outside the Mandalay
C F
Hoping and praying didn't change a thing
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C G
You double down when your back's against the wall
Dm C F
You double down when you hear the dealer call
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
F Am Dm C
You keep repeating that wicked catchphrase
F Am Dm
Painted on the interstate
F Am Dm C
All the billboards, they get me lonely
F Am Dm
I can't sleep off all these American screams tonight
