[Intro]
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 G
Who is backstage at the 6.8 rock fest
Em Am
I thought that you'd be on our side
Em Dm G
I tuned it out when I heard you shit-talking our friends
Em Am
Well, our world's in free fall and we're terrified
F G
And everyone's just out to grab what they can get
[Verse 2]
C Em Am
I thought I had a bunch of friends, I guess
F G
I just had people pissed at me for shit
C Em Am
And the cheaper that the music starts to get
F G
It's like they're trying to make us cheep along with it
Em Am
I watched you turn into your very opposite
Em Dm G
Into everything we were trying to reject
Em Am
And I figured you had had enough of it
F G
Watching the whole world turn while 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 G
But is that ever who we even wanted to be?
Em Am
Do you remember, baby, back in '96?
Em Dm G
When some record was enough to make you raise your fist?
Em Am
When some singer would make you sure that you exist?
F G
Well, I never thought I'd feel like 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
All right, man?
[Outro]
