           G
 I see the road end
          C                  
You're appealin' to the parts
          G
 that you know I hold dear
                          Am     
You've been the best five minutes
                 Em
 of a shitty old year

[Pre-Chorus]
           Bm         A
And I'm so glad we're here


[Chorus]
                               G  
‘Cause I'm with my best friend Dan 
                            D
now, campin' on the county line
                         D
Hand around a Miller Lite, 
                        C
waitin' for the sun to rise
                   G     
Couplе of hometown heroes
                   D
 fightin' ovеr politics
                   D   
Sittin' and rememberin',
                           C
 young men from different sides

[Post-Chorus]
              G                D
And we're so alone most of the time
                                      C
Most of the time, we don't have anyone
            G             D
Where do we go when we die?
I wouldn't mind right here,
                     Em   Bm   C   G
 I wouldn't mind at all

[Verse 2]
                Em        
Mm, through the dyin' light
       Bm
 of a flashlight lens
             C          
You tried to tell me how
           G
 unfair it is
                   C   
That I have what I have
                     G
 and you got what you got
                     Am  
Said I'd give it all back
                  Em    D
 if I could, I cannot
Em                       
Loon calls pierce through 
         Bm
the violet sky
                      C   
I think I stood right here
                 G
 back when Carlo died
                 C         
Said I hated the way I made 
             G
it all about me
                        Am  
But every day from back then
                  Em
 is like a bad old dream

Most of the song cycles through G – D – C – G (I – V – IV – I in G major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
