[Verse 1]
      Em                       G
I was raised in the north underneath the pines
          A                     Bm
Where the pavement ends and the police hide
      Em                            G
Moved down and to the west where it is so dry
     D                             A           Em
That all the streets flood when it rains every time
G              A
 And I'll just sit here in the yard
Em                 Bm
 And hope that the power goes out
G                        Bm                       
 Cause this could be the time 
               Em N.C.                     Bm
It never comes back on, and that would be, that would be fine

[Chorus]
Em            Bm               A              Bm
 I swear to a god that I never planned, never planned to believe in
Em            Bm               A              Bm
 I swear to a god that I never planned, never planned to believe in

[Fill]
Em G D A (x2)

[Verse 2] 
Em             G
 And if I ever drink again
           A                            Bm
It's gonna kill me or I'm just gonna wish that it did
     Em                          G
I'll tell you right now I didn't quit shooting dope
             D                       A
To watch the border patrol pull this shit unopposed
G               A
 The south side is a police state 
Em                              Bm
 That's not the type of thing I normally say
        G                           Bm
Cause I hate it when our rhetoric exaggerates
              Em N.C.                Bm
But where I'm from the police kidnap people every day

[Chorus]
Em            Bm               A              Bm
 I swear to a god that I never planned, never planned to believe in
Em            Bm               A              Bm
 I swear to a god that I never planned, never planned to believe in
Em     G         D         A
 Da da da, da da da, da da da
Em     G         D         A
 Da da da, da da da, da da da

[Verse 3]
Em                            G
Don't sleep at night 'til the last prison
     A                           Bm
Gets burnt down or turned into a museum
      Em                            G
Don't breathe until the last dollar bill they print
     D                           Bm
Gets tossed into a wood stove in New England
G           A
 I couldn't leave my house today 
Em                    Bm
 I'm too terrified of market exchange
G                       Bm
 Nothing remains in the hands that made it 
         Em N.C.                      Bm
No one's working for each other, everybody's working for a wage

[Chorus]
Em            Bm               A              Bm
 I swear to a god that I never planned, never planned to believe in
Em            Bm               A              Bm
 I swear to a god that I never planned, never planned to believe in
Em     G         D         A
 Da da da, da da da, da da da
Em     G         D         A
 Da da da, da da da, da da da
