[Intro] G D Am C D G D Am C D [Verse]
Em                           G D
I heard you sing a rebel song,

Em                           G D
sung it loud and all alone.

Em                                 G D
We can't afford the things you save,

Em                           G D
we can't afford the warranty.

Em                G
I see you walking in the glare

D                Em
down the county road we share.

Em                     G
Our southern blood, my heresy,

D                Em
damn that ol' confederacy. 
[Chorus]
G         D
 It took a long time to

Am              C   D         
 become the thing I am to you.

G            D            Am
 And you won't tear it apart

              C      D       Em
without a fight, without a heart. 
[Verse]
Em                                G D
I'm sorry for what you have learned,

Em                           G D
when you feel the tables turn.

Em                           G D
To run so hard in your race,

Em                           G D
now you find who set the pace.

Em             G
The landed aristocracy

D                    Em
exploiting all your enmity.

Em                 G
All your daddies fought in vain,

D                   Em
leave you with the mark of Cain. 
[Chorus]
G         D
 It took a long time to

Am              C   D         
 become the thing I am to you.

G            D            Am
 And you won't tear it apart

              C      D         G
without a fight, without a heart. 

        D           Am
It took a long time to

        C      D      G
become you, become you.
[Solo] G D Am C D G D Am C D [Verse]
Em                           G D
The center holds, so they say. 

Em                           G D
It never held too well for me.

Em                               G D
I won't stop short for common ground

Em                             G D
that vilifies the trodden down.

Em                  G
The center held the bonded slave

D              Em 
for the sake of industry.

Em                  G
The center held the bloody hand

D          Em
of the execution man. 
[Chorus]
G         D
 It took a long time to

Am              C   D         
 become the thing I am to you.

G            D            Am
 And you won't tear it apart

              C      D         G
without a fight, without a heart. 

        D           Am
It took a long time to

        C      D      G
become you, become you.
