[Verse]
G# E F#
As the tears welled up in my eyes, something hit me that tore me up inside
G# E F# E
Misled, deceived, we all turned out backs on those we should respect and send back home
F# E
This is not a game that anyone should play
F# G#
Blood spills on the ground and all our hands are dripping now
[Chorus]
G# B E F#
I can't wipe them clean, I somehow feel responsible
G# B E F#
In a time of disarray I wrote it off and said this feeling will fade away
G# B F#
But to my dismay, I still feel responsible
G# B E F#
I didn't take my duty seriously and now this feeling won't go away
G#
It won't go away
[Verse]
G# E F# G#
"In time everything will be alright, he's no better than the other guy"
E F# E
Shame on me! The apathetic American they want me to be
F# E
I'm a bad cliche that too many of us portray
F# G#
Blood spills on the gound and all our hands are dripping now
[Chorus]
G# B E F#
I can't wipe them clean, I somehow feel responsible
G# B E F#
In a time of disarray I wrote it off and said this feeling will fade away
G# B F#
But to my dismay, I still feel responsible
G# B E F#
I didn't take my duty seriously and now this feeling won't go away
G#
It won't go away

[Bridge]
Em F# D#
I won't make the same mistake again
G#
I'll learn to speak my mind
Em F# D#
I'm never going down without a fight
[Chorus]
G# B E F#
I can't wipe them clean, I somehow feel responsible
G# B E F#
In a time of disarray I wrote it off and said this feeling will fade away
G# B F#
But to my dismay, I still feel responsible
G# B E F#
I didn't take my duty seriously and now this feeling won't go away
No, this feeling won't go away
