Un-American Gothic

F#m A D

[Verse 1]
F#m
We arrived upon the tide
A
Dying to be free
D
I made you my young bride and we 
claimed destiny
F#m
Westward through the Plains
                   A
We killed everything
                 D
We left no remains
                        F#m
We wrote songs we could sing

We were young we were the poorest
       A            D
It was ours for the taking

We built alters in the forest
                     F#m
We shared in all the making

We assembled our masters
       A
In the cities of regretting
     D
Ever forward, ever faster
                  F#m
We got to good at forgetting


[Chorus]
F#m                         A
I’m afraid we’ve gone to far
                D
No one can save us now
     F#m                      A
Yes, I’m afraid we’ve gone to far
                D
No one can save us now



[Verse 2]
F#m
So we rallied ‘round the story
Continues after the ad
A
With the armies of our hearts
            D
Through the pain and all the glory
                  F#m
We bled for a new start
                         A
And we knew that we were right
                    D
But still we got the blues

We danced into the night
                     F#m
We stood too much to lose
                          A
Then we found love at the speedway
                       D
In the twilight’s last gleaming

Though we ignored where the greed 
lay
                          F#m
As the fireworks were streaming
                        A
Now the poison’s in the water
                           D
But we tell ourselves were winning

Selling out our son and daughters
                        F#m
Just to keep the wheels spinning


[Chorus]

F#m                         A
I’m afraid we’ve gone to far
                D
No one can save us now
     F#m                      A
Yes, I’m afraid we’ve gone to far
                D
No one can save us now

F#m
Did I ever belong to you
A
‘Cause you never belonged to me
D
When did we give up on trying

Get blinded by the dream
F#m
I’m afraid we’ve gone to far
   A
No one can save us now


[Bridge]

E                     A           
There was going to be peace in the 
 D
valley
A                        D
We were going to build a better day
Bm                 C#     D
Now you’re ducking down a dark alley
E
I can’t look at you too long
C#
Before I have to turn away


[Chorus]


F#m                         A
I’m afraid we’ve gone to far
               D
No one can save us now
     F#m                      A
Yes, I’m afraid we’ve gone to far
                D
No one can save us now

F#m
Did I ever belong to you
A
‘Cause you never belonged to me
D
When did we give up on trying

Get blinded by the dream
F#m
I’m afraid we’ve gone to far
   A               D
No one can save us now
