[D] Lights from the factory [F#m] floors, like [Bm] a Midwest electrical [F#m] storm. _ _
[E] [Em] Out past the shadows [A] we know, birds gather [F#m] at nine foot problems [G] born.
_ [D] _
Stood by the closing [F#m] gates, _ _
[Bm] laughed about the good [F#m] old days.
We [Em] got five-edge solutions [F#m] to nine foot problems, [G] the whole town huddles [D] and waits. _ _
_ _ I feel [F#m] it fading, _ _ whoa, [G] American fading, _
[Em] _ whoa, [F#m] American jading. _
In a factory [G] _ town, _

[Em] _ _ _ _ [D] raised by industrial [F#m] sound, _ _ [Bm] both feet flat on [F#m] the ground.
With [Em] my eyes wide open [A] I saw the world clearly, [F#m] what a nine foot problem [G] in town.
_ _ [D] _ Preachers were peddled [F#m] in faith, but I [Bm] saw through it at an early [F#m] _ age.

In a factory [G] _ town, _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[G] gone are the days [D] when the [A] smokestacks towered [G] above every head and [D] rained down [A] like flowers.
[Em] Tired to sit back, watch [F#m] my own town wasting [G] away.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] Smoke from the factory [F#m] road, _ [Bm] like a Midwest electrical [F#m] storm.
When [Em] they locked up the gates, I [A] saw brave men cower [F#m] as a nine foot problem [G] was born.
_ _ [D] _ Sometimes the nights [F#m] drag on, _ [Bm] _ Bibles, bottles, [F#m] and loans.
They're [Em] just five-edge solutions [F#m] to nine foot problems, [G] and maybe it's just time to [D] move on.
