             E                
It doesn't matter where you're

Now the view's the same these 
                  B
days it all went wrong
             E            
Now I just drive around and

C#m                        E
Where we were and where we are
F#m                   
Felt so close now they
        G#   G#/C
 feel so far
C#m

 it's on his government

[Chorus]
                C#m
Take me to the place
 where the poison is
          E
To put a face to what's poisonous
         F#m
To give him a little 
taste of his medicine
            G#       
There's a snake that
                   G#/C
thinks it's the president
        C#m
To the place where the poison is
          E
To put a face to what's poisonous
         F#m
To give him a little taste
 of his medicine
            G#             
There's a snake that thinks
             G#/C
 it's the president

 shootings and a climate crisis
C#m                                E
