[Intro]
Upstroke an Ebm and hold it
[Verse 1]
Ebm Db
August ends, if I'm ever gonna see you again
Ab Bmaj7
What I know about the place you kept
Ebm Db
Wild one, if you ever get the trial done
Ab Bmaj7
I know you have a special name for your God
Ebm Db
The way it feels when it's in your head
Ab
If I'm ever meant to see you again
Bmaj7 Db
You should feel it too
[Chorus]
Abm
How am I to make you believe me?
Bmaj7
How am I to get you to see
Abm
America is burning from the inside out
Bmaj7 Abm
I don't think we're meant to be free
Bmaj7 Abm
I don't think we're meant to be free
Bmaj7 Db
I don't think we're meant to be
[Verse 2]
Ebm
Let me burn another face
Db
I was searching for a painless way to die
Ab Bmaj7
But at what percent we communicate
Ebm
I obviously wasn't right
Db
I was searching for a painless way through life
Ab
But I run away, so I can't be clear why
[Bridge]
Ebm
All my thoughts give way
Db
Disappearing atoms
Ab Bmaj7
Desperately I fall to my hands
Ebm
All my words give way
Db
Endless abolition
Ab Bmaj7
Desperately, I forfeit my plan
[Chorus]
Abm Bbm
How am I to make you believe me
Bmaj7 Bbm
How am I to get you to see
Abm Bbm
America is burning from the inside out
Bmaj7 Bbm
We were never meant to be free
Abm Bbm
How am I to make you believe me
Bmaj7 Bbm
How am I to get you to see
Abm Bbm
February's torture without you here
Bmaj7 Bbm
I don't ever get the relief (oh, I know that you're the one)
Abm Bbm
How am I to make you believe me (all I know is you're the one)
Bmaj7 Bbm
How am I to get you to see (we were never meant to be)
Abm (Bbm)
America is burning from the inside out
Bmaj7 Bbm
We were never meant to be free
[Outro]
Abm
Oh, I know you're the one
(Bbm) Bmaj7
All I know is
Abm
We were never meant to be
(Bbm) Bmaj7
We were never
August ends
If I'm ever gonna see you again
What I know about the place you kept
Wild one
If you ever get the trial done
I know you have a special name for your God
The way it feels when it's in your head
If I'm ever meant to see you again
You should feel it too
How am I to make you believe me?
How am I to get you to see?
America is burning from the inside out
I don't think we're meant to be free
I don't think we're meant to be free
I don't think we're meant to be
Let me burn another face
I was searching for a painless way to die
But at what percent we communicate, I
Obviously wasn't right
I was searching for a painless way through life
But I run away so I can't be clear why
All my thoughts give way
Disappearing atoms
Desperately, I fall to my hands
All my words give way
Endless abolition
Desperately, I forfeit my plan
How am I to make you believe me?
How am I to get you to see?
America is burning from the inside out
We were never meant to be free
How am I to make you believe me?
How am I to get you to see?
February's torture without you here
I don't ever get the relief
(Oh I know you're the one)
How am I to make you believe me
(All I know is you're the one)
How am I to get you to see?
(We were never meant to be)
America is burning from the inside out
(We were never)
We were never meant to be free
(Oh, I know you're the one)
(All I know is)
(We were never meant to be)
(We were never)
