C         E                 Am
I want to know the one I'm named for
F           Am             G
I want to understand this shame
C         E                 Am
I want a son named for my hometown
F                 Am           G
But you’ll break everything I chase


[Chorus]:

    C              E              Am
So hey, why do we cry so much my baby?
            G               F
When it's always been this way
  A                     Dm
Lost in the unknown country
      C              E              Am
Don't wait for the end of the line my baby
         G               F
We can't go the way we came
             A                     Dm
You’ll get lost in the unknown country


[Verse 2]:
C         E                 Am
I took the trip home to New Jersey
F         Am             G
Took my dreams to the waves
C         E                 Am
Tried to whisper I still love you
F         Am             G
But I'm something more than afraid


[Chorus]:

    C              E              Am
So hey, why do we cry so much my baby?
            G               F
When it's always been this way
  A                     Dm
Lost in the unknown country
        C              E              Am
Don't wait for the end of the line my baby
         G               F
We can't go the way we came
             A                     Dm
You’ll get lost in the unknown country
