Tom: D
G D A
You lived a life of pride
E A G
You lived a life of pain
G D A D G
Trying to pray away stormy weather
G D A
Sweeping up the dust
E A G
Reaching out for yesterday
G D A D G
Yesterday is a blade, sharp as ever
[Chorus]
D
The well that held those tears
A G
Couldn't make it one more year
E A G
I guess there's a loser in every fight
G A
Your favorite version of the past,
D G
You found in a photograph
G A D
American flags in black and white
[Instrumental]
G D A E A G
G D A E G
[Verse]
G D A
I promised my belief
E A G
I promised lots of thing
G D A D G
A promise never brought your kind of message
G D A
Because if it don't burn up
A E A G
It'll blow away next spring
G D A D G
You won't be combing through the wreckage
[Chorus]
D
And the things that made you feel so safe
A G
Are only on a screen these days
E A G
And there's a loser in every fight
G A
Your favorite version of the past,
D G
You found in a photograph
G A D
American flags in black and white
[Instrumental]
G D A E A G
G D A E G
[Chorus]
D
The well that held those tears
A G
Couldn't make it one more year
E A G
I guess we're the losers in this fight
G A
My favorite version of the past,
D G
Is you in a photograph
G A D
American flags in black and white
G A D
American flags in black and white
