Intro Riff: E|--------8------------------------------| B|---8/10---10----10-8-------------------| x 2 G|---------------------9-----------------| Am F C Don't blame the doctor for giving me those pills, Am F C Don't blame my mother for holding my hand up the hill, Am F C Don't blame my childhood friends for speaking their minds, Am F C I'll take it all, yeah I'll take it all I will. [Chorus] Am If I was to fight would you fight against me, C If I was to run would you run with me, F If I was to die would you bury me deep, C Say you would please, Am And if I was to scream would you hear what I said, C If I was to drown would you hold my head, F Underneath the memories of what I meant, C And not what I did. [Verse 2] Am F C I built a house so tall and I burned it down, Am F C I was looking for culture to find what was already found, Am F C But don't blame America, blame it on me, Am F C I'm worried that the sins of the father will trickle down. [Chorus] Am If I was to fight would you fight against me, C If I was to run would you run with me, F If I was to die would you bury me deep, C Say you would please, Am And if I was to scream would you hear what I said, C If I was to drown would you hold my head, F Underneath the memories of what I meant, C And not what I did.

[Chorus] Am If I was to fight would you fight against me, C If I was to run would you run with me, F If I was to die would you bury me deep, C Say you would please, Am And if I was to scream would you hear what I said, C If I was to drown would you hold my head, F Underneath the memories of what I meant, C And not what I did.
