    Em            Em

[Verse 1]
Em
 I've crossed the line
Em
 I've bent the rules
Em
 Home of the brave
Em
 Red, white, and blue
Em
 I've fought the fire
Em
 Running through my head
Em
 Stood by and watched
Em
 Believed in what they said

[Chorus]
Em
  I'm 40 miles of bad road
C
 A riverbed of potholes
A
 I know, I know, I know where
     Em
the money goes
Em
 Down a shaft of ratholes
C
 Lowered by my ankles
A
 Where dear dogs lie in the
Em
afterglow


[Verse 2]
Em
 I've walked the cage
Em
 I've been in cuffs
Em
 I've done the time
Em
 Enough is enough
Em
 I know my rights
Em
 Know when I'm wrong
Em
 But nothing seemed to matter
Em
 Until you came along

[Chorus]
Em
  I'm 40 miles of bad road
C
  A riverbed of potholes
A
  I know, I know, I know where
     Em
the money goes
Em
 Down a shaft of ratholes
C
 Lowered by my ankles
A
 Where dear dogs lie in the
Em
afterglow

[Verse 3]
Em
 I've wrapped my wounds
Em
 I've closed my eyes
Em
 Escaped to nowhere
Em
 Turning back the tide
Em
 I asked the sage
Em
 What it's gonna take
Em
 To get out of Jordan
Em
 With everything at stake

[Chorus]
Em
 I'm 40 miles of bad road
C
 A riverbed of potholes
A
 I know, I know, I know where
     Em
the money goes
Em
 Down a shaft of ratholes
C
 Lowered by my ankles
A
 Where dear dogs lie in the
Em
afterglow

[Outro]
       Em
In the afterglow
       Em
In the afterglow
       Em         Em
In the afterglow
