[INTRO]
[Cm](No[Cm] Ly[Cm]ric[Cm]s)

[VERSE 1]
Let's start with [Cm]hope
I threw in the middle like a [Cm]skipping stone
The [Cm]ripples won, [Cm]son of a gun
[Cm]Some would not have thought so
But I [G]stand here commander in [G7]chief.
And I take that [Cm]seriously

[VERSE 2]
But along the [Cm]way
A rogue [Cm]ripple turned tidal wave
In [Cm]reaction to, what I [Cm]tried to do
A [Cm]rebirth of a nation's hatred
[G]Red, white, and blue. Is b[G7]lack in there too?
[Cm] Seriously?

[Cm]

[BRIDGE 1]
[Eb]One man
Rewriting the [G]book on bad behavior
[Cm] Maybe cheats the neighbors
[Ab] Feels he gets what they payed for
[Eb]We can't
Pat him on the [G]back and send him on through,
[Cm] No man's ignorance will [Ab]ever be his virtue

Is this [G]best we can be?
[G7] Seriously? [Cm]

[VERSE 3]
Let's talk of [Cm]fear
And why I [Cm]don't bring it in here
It's a [Cm]dangerous word, it [Cm]spooks the heard
And we [Cm]all bleed in the stampede
[G]Fear makes a false friend indeed [G7]
And I take it [Cm]seriously

[Pre-bridge]
But hear me [Cm]now,
Before the [Cm]truth gets drowned out
By a [Cm]demagogue flexing
A [Cm]demagogue flexing
He's [G]history repeating [G7]

[BRIDGE 2]
[Eb]Angry?
Am I [G]angry?
You ask if I'm [Cm]angry.
And [Ab]I'm at a loss for words

After [Eb]all we've done,
Every [G]battle hard one,
Every [Cm]hair gone gray
In this [Ab]name of this place
In a [Eb]history plagued
With in-[G]credible mistakes
Still I [Cm]pledge my allegiance to these
U-[Ab]nited Divided States [G] [G7]
[Cm]Seriously?

[Cm]

[VERSE 4]
Let's end with [Cm]why
It's a [Cm]question I
Want to [Cm]ask of us, as a [Cm]populace
[Cm]Why not take our time
Or the [G]weight of the story... [G7]

[N.C.] ...Seriously
