Verse:
Am C
I'm fed with livestock
F Am
Rain, grasses, and grain
F C
That I bought in a city
G
From another city that I
Am
Cannot name.
Am C
I'll meet you for dinner
F Am
And we'll speak the same
F C
What choice have we got?
G
We kiss women who love us
Am
And we love the same.

Verse:
Am C
These men that we're makin’,
F Am
These men we've become,
F C
Who speak with conviction
G
But can't find the answers
Am
When the day is done,
Am C
Will we side with the same truth
F Am
When we've mined long enough?
F C
Will we stand up and see eye to eye
G
Once the wild has torn
Am Am
straight through our guts?

We all

We all
G
Dissolve

In all

Verse:
Am C
When I talk like a liar,
F Am
When I've sold all my dreams,
F C
When I stand tall, like a monument
G Am
That's when you know that I'll never wash clean.
Am C
Some wait for the whisper.
F Am
And some wait for God.
F C
But it's never gonna be
G
how you want it to be
Am
So, boy, just play along.
Bridge:
Am
'cause there's a truth
C
Buried in the murder—
F Am
A man I want to know.
F
So I can still look at myself
C
In the mirror and say, "Hell, you know
G Am
Damn well the right way to go." Oh
