Ebm                                Db
August ends, if I'm ever gonna see you again
                          Ab            Bmaj7
What I know about the place you kept
Ebm                               Db
Wild one, if you ever get the trial done
                                Ab              Bmaj7
I know you have a special name for your God

Ebm                                     Db
The way it feels when it's in your head
                                     Ab
If I'm ever meant to see you again
               Bmaj7        (Db)
You should feel it too

[Chorus]

Abm
How am I to make you believe me?
Bmaj7
How am I to get you to see
Abm
America is burning from the inside out
Bmaj7                                   Abm
I don't think we're meant to be free
Bmaj7                                   Abm
I don't think we're meant to be free
Bmaj7                           (Db)
I don't think we're meant to be

[Verse 2]

Ebm
Let me burn another face
        Db
I was searching for a painless way to die
        Ab                  Bmaj7
But at what percent we communicate
      Ebm
I obviously wasn't right
Db
I was searching for a painless way through life
        Ab
But I run away, so I can't be clear why

[Bridge]

Ebm
All my thoughts give way
Db
Disappearing atoms
Ab            Bmaj7
Desperately I fall to my hands
Ebm
All my words give way
Db
Endless abolition
Ab             Bmaj7
Desperately, I forfeit my plan

[Chorus]

Abm                             (Bbm)
How am I to make you believe me
Bmaj7                   (Bbm)
How am I to get you to see
Abm                             (Bbm)
America is burning from the inside out
Bmaj7                           (Bbm)
We were never meant to be free
Abm                             (Bbm)
How am I to make you believe me
Bmaj7                   (Bbm)
How am I to get you to see
Abm                             (Bbm)
February's torture without you here
Bmaj7                   (Bbm)
I don't ever get the relief (oh, I know that you're the one)
Abm                             (Bbm)
How am I to make you believe me (all I know is you're the one)
Bmaj7                   (Bbm)
How am I to get you to see (we were never meant to be)
Abm                             (Bbm)
America is burning from the inside out
Bmaj7                   (Bbm)
We were never meant to be free

[Outro]
      Abm                             
Oh, I know you're the one
  (Bbm)  Bmaj7
All I   know is
        Abm
We were never meant to be
  (Bbm) Bmaj7 
We were never
