The Devil In My Bloodstream

the wonder years - the devil in my bloodstream key - C# C# we wiped out all the buffalo A#m around the turn of the last century , F# and so it’s factories and sawgrass , G# wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me . C# the midwest feels like a hollow place A#m 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# A#m G# F# well i wanted to see just a little bit of everything . G# let me be . C# F# two blackbirds on a highway sign A#m G# are laughing at me at four in the morning . C# F# they played the war drum out of time A#m G# so i’m not sure where i’ve been marching . A#m F# i wanna be strong , but it’s not easy anymore . C# G# F# i’m hoping i’m wrong . C# it’s sixteen hours straight to home A#m from the heart of north missouri , F# and so i searched through my great - grandpop’s memoirs G# for the devil in my bloodstream . C# depression grabbed his throat A#m and choked the life out of him slowly . F# i’ve got the same blood coursing through my veins G# and it’ll come for me eventually . C# i bet i’d be a fxxking coward . A#m 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# A#m G# F# but i , i wanted to know if i could please come home . G# so let me know . C# F# two blackbirds on a highway sign A#m G# are laughing at me at four in the morning . C# F# they played the war drum out of time A#m G# so i’m not sure where i’ve been marching . A#m C# F# i wanna be strong , but it’s not easy anymore . C# G# F# i’m hoping i’m wrong . C# G# F# i’m hoping i’m wrong . C# G# F# C# F# two blackbirds on a highway sign A#m G# are laughing at me at four in the morning C# F# they played the war drum out of time A#m G# so i’m not sure where i’ve been marching . A#m C# F# i wanna be strong . C# G# F# i wanna be strong , but it’s not easy anymore .
