D5  F5

Dm7
On being comatose
             F5
Don’t worry just yet
Dm7
You’ll feel it in your toes
              F5
But not what comes next
Dm7
This mantras typical
                      F5
For all the boys back at home
Dm7
It isn’t cynical
               F5
But passed on their own
Pré Refrão
G5
She wasn’t sick with it
Bb5
She had a power to her name
F5
She dropped out with a kid and wondered how things got this way
G5
And all this weight she bears
Bb5
Pulling the corners of her back
F5                         C5
Somehow it all just seems so sad
             G5
They’re all here
I’m out there
              Bb5
They’ve been stuck all these years
       D5
So tell me
                C5
Why do I get so down
When I visit my hometown
            G5
They’re all here
I’m out there
          Bb5
I’ll move west in a year
         D5
So tell me
                 C5
Why do I get so down
                      Bb5
When I visit my hometown

( D5  F5 )
Dm7
In school they had their fun
             F5
White garland necks
Dm7
But with the system won
             F5
A blue collar death
G5
He kept his cool with it
Bb5
Sustained the scarlet on his neck
F5
His hands were calloused with the labor and the ten years spent
G5
And all this weight he bears
Bb5
Affixed a fixture on his chest
F5                                Bb5
He kicks and screams in hopes these final words may still not be
    C5
his last
     D5
I’m sick
Of trying
       C5
These dreams
          Bb5
Keep dying off
    D5
My youth
Is lost
      C5
Count up
     Bb5
The cost
How can I make it stop
            G5
They’re all here I’m out there
             Bb5
They’ve been stuck all these years
   D5
So tell me
                 C5
Why do I get so down
When I visit my hometown
         G5
I’m out there
          Bb5
I’ll move west
In a year
       D5
So tell me
                   C5
Why do I get so down
When I visit my hometown
Bb5
