The Devil In My Bloodstream half step down First Tab 100% correct
                     C                                   Am
We wiped out all the buffalo around the turn of the last century

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

                         C                                         Am
The midwest feels like a hollow place that we filled with love and industry

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

G
Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy

   **F                G        Am     G      F
Well I, I wanted to see just a little bit of everything

        G
Let me be

                    C       F                    Am                G
Two blackbirds on a highway sign are laughing at me at four in the morning

                         C      F
They played the war drum out of time

           Am                   G
So I'm not sure where I've been marching

             Am      C            F
I want to be strong, but it's not easy anymore

               C    G  F
I'm hoping I'm wrong

                   C                                        Am
It's sixteen hours straight to home from the heart of north Missouri

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

                     G
For the devil in my bloodstream

                       C                                     Am
Depression grabbed his throat and choked the life out of him slowly

           F
I got the same blood coursing through my veins

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

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

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

    F  G                           Am     G    F
But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home

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

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