Chords for American Aquarium - "Me + Mine (Lamentations)" [Official Video]

_ This was a happy town.
It was a good town
They said to grow up in because I love this little town.
It's the only place I ever knew I might could have done better
Going somewhere else, but then on the other hand I said no
I don't think so I had no reason to leave but I don't like what I see but it's nothing [C] I do about it
It's a victim of times _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Me and mine have worked this land as [F] long as my grandfather [C] can remember _
Plowing _ _ _ _ _ soil to digging holes, [F] hauling coal to stripping down the [C] timber _
_ _ _ _ Then [D] they showed [C] up
They shut us down
Same [G] old story
The same old town _ _ _ _
_ It's like we don't matter mama [F] said
At least that's how it [C] seems _ _ _ _
And that's the [G] day
I woke [F] up in the [C] American dream _ _ _ _
What are you supposed to do?
[F] When the God you're praying to up and [C] goes missing _ _ _ _
Leaves a trail of unpaid [F] bills, broken homes and opioid [C]
addiction
_ _ _ _ And [G] then a politician shows up
[C] promising that
[G] He'll return the jobs that [F] God himself could not [C] bring back _ _
_ _ _ Fool me once, shame on you.
[F] Fool me twice, shame [C] on me _ _ _
_ That's [G] the day I [F] gave up the [C] American dream _ _ _ _
These [Dm] lamentations are _ [F] _
getting too damn hard to [C] sing _ _ _ _
These lamentations
_ _ _ They're gonna be [C] the death of me _ _ _ _ _
See me and mine, we ain't the [F] kind to sit around, idle and [C] complain
_ _ _ _ We're tough as nails, mean as [F] hell, without an ounce of quit in [C] our veins
_ _ _ _ _ But [G] the harder we work, [F] the more [C] they take
[G] Till all the good is gone, [F] for goodness [Cm] sake _ _
_ _ Neither the left or the right are gonna [F] fight for folks stuck in [C] between _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] The way things [F] really are
the [C] American dream _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] These lamentations
_ _ [F] Gonna be the death of [C] me _ _ _ _
These lamentations
_ _ They're getting too [C] damn hard to sing
_ _ _ _ these [F] lamentations
_ _ _ Gonna be the death [C] of me
_ _ _ _ these [F] lamentations
_ _ _ Getting too damn hard to [C] sing _ _ _ _ _ _ _
