Bb F Bb Gm Bb F Bb
[Verse 1]
Bb F Bb Gm
I saw somebody die out upon the road today
Bb F Bb Eb
I felt lives dissolve on side-streets as that head hit the highway
Bb F Bb Gm
I see first responders rush in as a white plume dissipates
Bb F Bb
Trying to pull their will to power from the flames
[Verse 2]
Bb F Bb Gm
Now there's miles of angry motorists stretched as far as eyes can see
Bb F Bb Eb
There are a billion breathing beings each with schedules to keep
Bb F Bb Gm
They get a long look at the tow truck as they sit and grit their teeth
Bb F Bb
Hating that which comes between them and their coffee
[Verse 3]
Bb F Bb Gm
I'm on that ribbon highway and I've seen some sickening things
Bb F Bb Eb
One good kid smashed to splinters, another wicked one crowned king
Bb F Bb Gm
And upon the pavement, for each and every particle of glass
Bb F Bb
There are a thousand dreams never to come to pass
[Chorus]
Bb F Gm
Because dreams can't be, nor people, indeed, built to last, built to last
Bb Gm
Built to last, built to last. Built to last, built to last.
Bb Eb
Built to last, built to last. Built to last, built to last.
Bb Eb F
Built to last, built to last. Built to last, built to last.
[Verse 4]
Bb F Bb Gm
I've adored every inch of this country through the same dirty windshield
Bb F Bb Eb
Peeking through blotches of the blood of bugs towards the Elysian Fields
Bb F Bb Gm
Behold my brother's beautiful babies! It's obvious to see
Bb F Bb
The world's been making plans to go on without me
[Verse 5]
Bb F Bb Gm
I gave my youth to yelling at rivers that refused to flood with angry tears
Bb F Bb Eb
Now abundant beers await to erase redundant years
Bb F Bb Gm
So there's nothing for me to do now but turn the radio up loud
Bb F Bb
Put Eric's sunglasses back on and black it out
[Verse 6]
Bb F Bb Gm
Now I'm writing manifestos on old B.O.A. receipts
Bb F Bb Eb
I know it only is alfresco when I take meals in the streets
Bb F Bb Gm
There was promise in these pages once, now they rot under the rain
Bb F Bb
Of their wisdom, all that remains are stains
[Chorus 2]
Bb F Gm
Because, just like me, they were made to be thrown away, thrown away.
Bb Gm
Thrown away, thrown away. Thrown away, thrown away.
Bb Eb
Thrown away, thrown away. Thrown away, thrown away.
Bb Eb F
Thrown away, thrown away. Thrown away, thrown away.
