Tom: Em
Bm D A E
Wish someone would help me, somebody tell me
G
What's goin' on with the world today?
Bm D A
We lost our way, but won't lose the fight
E E B
Just stand your ground and you'll be alright
[Verse]
Bm E
Land of the free, home of the brave
D
Nowadays everybody act all gay
E
Y'all don't see this mess y'all made?
A
Act all weird and dress all strange
Bm
I guess I'm weird, 'cause I'm still straight?
D
You white, you racist, that's okay
Em
Black lives claim they still chained
Bm
Last I checked, I don't own no slaves
[Verse]
Bm
But I own what I say
Bm
Most of you don't 'cause you don't wanna pay
E
The price you pay when you say it to my face
G Bm
And all that 'cause I love the USA
Bm
And the flag we fly
Bm
I speak my mind, 'cause people died
Em
They burn it down, you act surprised
Em Bm
I can't believe my damn eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm Bm
I never thought I'd live to see the day
Em C D
The way people act these days
Bm D A
I'd rather die than live that way
Em E
What happened to the USA?
[Chorus]
Bm D A Em
It's time for change, give a damn what people say
E G
I miss the old days, home of the brave
Bm D
It's time for change, break the chains in the USA
E G
I miss the old days, home of the brave
[Post-Chorus]
Bm D E
Wish someone would help me, somebody tell me
E E Am
What's goin' on with the world today?
Bm D A
We lost our way, but won't lose the fight
E Em Bm
Just stand your ground and you'll be alright
[Verse]
Bm Bm
Gonna be alright, gonna see the light
Em E Bm
First people fight, then reunite
Bm Bm E
When day turns night and wrong turns right
E E Bm
I'll always fight for them stars and stripes
Bm Bm
Stars and stripes on my sleeves, you burn them, rest in peace
E E Bm
Better yet, rot in Hell, much respect to those who fell
Bm Bm B
I live through them so I can tell, the story that we know so well
E Bm
Live or die, my head held high, 'til it's my time, farewell (Farewell)
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm D A E
I never thought I'd live to see the day
G
The way people act these days
Bm D A
I'd rather die than live that way
Em E
What happened to the USA?
[Chorus]
Bm D A
It's time for change, give a damn what people say
E G Bm
I miss the old days, home of the brave
Bm D
It's time for change, break the chains in the USA
E G Bm
I miss the old days, home of the brave
