The Devil In My Bloodstream half step down First Tab 100% correct [Verse]
                     D                                   Bm
We wiped out all the buffalo around the turn of the last century

            G                                                        A
And so it's factories and sawgrass, wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me

                         D                                         Bm
The midwest feels like a hollow place that we filled with love and industry

          G
And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits

A
Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy

   **G                A        Bm     A      G
Well I, I wanted to see just a little bit of everything

        A
Let me be
[Chorus]
                    D       G                    Bm                A
Two blackbirds on a highway sign are laughing at me at four in the morning

                         D      G
They played the war drum out of time

           Bm                   A
So I'm not sure where I've been marching

             Bm      D            G
I want to be strong, but it's not easy anymore

               D    A  G
I'm hoping I'm wrong
[Verse]
                   D                                        Bm
It's sixteen hours straight to home from the heart of north Missouri

         G
And so I search through my great-grandpa's memoirs

                     A
For the devil in my bloodstream

                       D                                     Bm
Depression grabbed his throat and choked the life out of him slowly

           G
I got the same blood coursing through my veins

                  A
It'll come for me eventually
[Power Chords now] D I bet I'd be a fucking coward
                         Bm
I bet I'd never have the guts for war

       G
Cause I can't spend another month away from here

       A
These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore

    G  A                           Bm     A    G
But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home

            A
So let me know
[Chorus]
  D                      A      G
I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me

  D                      A      G
I know how it feels to be at war with a world that never loved me
