Tom: D
D5
[Verse]
D G
Through themes in recurring conversations I
Em A
Found myself in the towns east of lake Michigan
D
Fueled by an unnamed desperation
G
I set in a quest for a shared narration
Em A
And I thought back to moments i had listened for
[Refrain]
G D
Like how the northern lands untouched were of the beauties not yet lost
Em A
But how the urban landscapes remained unlivable
G D
Or how the buildings of Detroit were home to the broken dreams of men
Em A
And in the shell of industry, emasculation
[Verse]
D
I thought to a sad, yet common story:
G
A man who found narcotic glory
Em A A#
With nothing left to lose save wife and family
[Refrain]
D G
And i thought "if all the kids in Michigan are miserable or nihilistic
Em
Or caught in the traps of the games they're playing
A#
What does it say for a shared narration?
D
If all the kids in Michigan
G
If all the kids in Michigan
Em
If all the kids in Michigan
A#
If all the kids in Michigan
D
If all the kids in Michigan
G
If all the kids in Michigan
Em
If all the kids in Michigan
A#
If all the kids in Michigan
D G Em
If all the kids in Michigan are miserable or nihilistic
