Verse 1:
All my [Gm]flannels made in Bangla[Eb]Bangladesh
All my [Gm]t shirts in Viet[Eb]Vietnam
There are [Gm]places that we quietly i[Eb]ignore
There are [Bb]places that we go and [F]bomb
You know I [Gm]thought an awful lot about [Eb]Jesus
Even [Gm]more about Lao [Eb]Tzu
You say that the [Gm]way of the Tao is to [Eb]do nothing
Then what the [Bb]hell am I supposed to [F]do
Pre-Chorus:
You know the [Cm]harder you think, the deeper you sink
The [Eb]tighter you grip, the more that you slip
Chorus:
So I'm [Bb]singing this song about loving
All the [Eb]people that you've come to [Bb]hate
It's [Eb]true what they say, I'm gonna [Bb]diе someday
Why am I [Gm]holding on to all this [Cm]weight?
You know I [Bb]really thought that thеre'd be power
In thinking [Eb]half of y'all was just born [Bb]fools
Thought I was [Eb]gathering oats for my [Bb]horses
I was [Gm]getting by [Cm]whipping my [Gm]mules [Eb] [Gm] [Eb]

There's a [Gm]book I read I don't remem[Eb]remember
There's a [Gm]place I've been I've never [Eb]seen
There's a [Gm]note that I wrote that went [Eb]up in smoke
There's some [Bb]songs I don't ever [F]sing
You know the [Gm]stars in the sky were bur[Eb]burning
Most are [Gm]burning unbeknownst to [Eb]me
I wish I would've [Gm]paid more at[Eb]attention
To the [Bb]bigger things I didn't [F]see
Pre-Chorus:
You know the [Cm]harder you think, the deeper you sink
The [Eb]tighter you grip, the more that you slip

Bridge:
I got some [F]bricks so thick that they don't make sense
In the [Eb]walls up in my [Bb]mind
But [Eb]life is pretty short and the [Bb]road's got forks
So I [Gm]take 'em down while I got [Cm]time
Pre-Chorus:
You know the [Cm]harder you think, the deeper you sink
The [Eb]tighter you grip, the further you slip
