[Verse 1]

C              B6      D
Down where the dullers roll
           C                       
How do you keep a match lit in this
 G
 hole?
C            B6     Am
Up where the idiots lead
           Em
Scattering seeds
         D          C             
Where we all had to stand for the 
G
pledge
     D          C            
When bones were thrown, we all 
  G
fetched
    D             C         G
But still we were burning inside
D (STOP)  C        G
How did I get out alive?

[Verse 2]

C (Fill 1)   B6          D
And we read: here we are free
           C                       
Sang "This land was made for you 
  G
and me"
C              B6        Am
Watched as the president swore
Continúa después del anuncio
           Em
Called for war (WAR!)
       D            C              
We all died, yellow ribbons 'round 
G
necks
       D          C           
And we all had to stand for the 
  G
pledge
   D            C        G
So smothered by national pride
D (STOP)  C       G
How did I get out alive?

[Verse 3]

C              B6     D
Back where the idiots rolled
        C                     
I was a time bomb brought into 
 G
school
       C        B6              Am
It was there we learned up from down
       Em
Upside down
       D             C             
It was there that we stood for the 
G
pledge
          D           C           
Where the living were raised by 
  G
the dead
        D              C          
Let the slaughter kept inside the 
G
lines
   D (STOP)  C
So how did I get out?
   D          C
By some rebel angel?
    G
Was I blessed?
      D            C        G
Or by some devils, maybe in lead
       D          C             G
One by one we all choked on the lies
D (STOP)  C       G
How did I get out alive?


[Ending]

G          D        Em         
Hey, but I ain't no saint sent 
D            C          D
down to save you
G      D            Em          
If you struggle and fight, You 
    D           C      D
just may get out too
G          D        Em         
Hey, but I ain't no saint sent 
D            C          D
down to save you
G      D            Em           
If you struggle and fight you 
  D           C
just may get out too
