[Verse]
F Dm Bb
I don't know what to say about these days
F Dm Bb
I'm seeing people changing in the strangest ways
F Dm
Even in the richer neighborhoods
Bb
People don't know when they've got it good
F Dm Bb
They've got the envy and they've got it bad
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
F Dm Bb
When I was a kid everything I did was trying to be free
F Dm Bb
Running up and down Tinsel Town with the fire inside of me
F Dm Bb
My planets all in retrograde, the best of all my plans got laid
F Dm
I made my breaks and some mistakes
Bb
Just not the ones people think I made
[Chorus]
F Dm Bb
I'm a long way gone
F Dm Bb
Down this wild road I'm on
F Dm Bb
It's going to take me where I'm bound
F Dm Bb
But it's the long way around
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
F Dm Bb
It's a little hard keeping track of what's gone wrong
F Dm Bb
The covenant unravels and the news just rolls along
F Dm Bb
I could feel my memory letting go some two or three disasters ago
F Dm
It's hard to say which did more ill
Bb
Citizens United or the Gulf oil spill
[Chorus 2]
F Dm Bb
I'm a long way gone
F Dm Bb
Down this wild road I'm on
F Dm Bb
It's going to take me where I'm bound
F Dm Bb
But it's the long way around

[Verse 4]
F Dm Bb
It's never been that hard to buy a gun
F Dm Bb
Now they'll sell a Glock 19 to just about anyone
F Dm
The seeds of tragedy are there
Bb
In what we feel we have the right to bear
F
To watch our children come to harm
Bb
There in the safety of our arms
F Bb
With all we disagree about the passions burn,
Bbm Dm
the heart goes out
[Chorus 3]
F Dm Bb
I'm a long way gone
F Dm Bb
Down this wild road I'm on
F Dm Bb
It's going to take me where I'm bound
F Dm Bb
But it's the long way around
