The Industry

C Am F G

[Verse 1]
  C               Em  Am
I thought that it was us against the
 world
             F
But now it's me against something so
 big and abstract
                          G
That I can't tell what it is
    C            Em         Am
All while you're out there, grinding
 on some poor girl
       F                        
Who is backstage at the 6.8 rock 
  G
fest
Em                             Am
I thought that you'd be on our side
           Em                  
I tuned it out when I heard you 
                  Dm      G
shit-talking our friends
         Em                        
Well, our world's in free fall and 
      Am
we're terrified
         F                         
And everyone's just out to grab 
            G
what they can get

[Verse 2]

  C         Em    Am
I thought I had a bunch of friends, 
I guess
  F                                
I just had people pissed at me for 
G
shit
        C       Em       Am
And the cheaper that the music 
starts to get
          F                        
It's like they're trying to make us
                  G
 cheep along with it

              Em                 
I watched you turn into your very 
  Am
opposite
     Em                           
Into everything we were trying to 
Dm     G
reject
      Em                           
And I figured you had had enough of
 Am
 it
             F                     
Watching the whole world turn while
                    G
 all you earned was respect

[Verse 3]
    C       Em       Am
And look at us; just two dumb 
country hicks
         F                         G
as we're trying to bum-rush that VIP
   C          Em        Am
Up there, out where the beautiful 
people live
            F                      
But is that ever who we even wanted
    G
 to be?

       Em                       Am
Do you remember, baby, back in '96?
          Em                       
When some record was enough to make
                Dm    G
 you raise your fist?
          Em                       
When some singer would make you 
           Am
sure that you exist?
        F                          
Well, I never thought I'd feel like
      G
 that again

          C
Just let go
                Am
I had to let it go
              F
I gotta gotta let it go
             G
Gotta let it go
