[Verse 1]
[G]The[D]re'[C]s[G][D][C]
[G]bayonets and
[D]bones and these Vir[C]ginian cobble stones
All [G]buried 'neath the shad
[D]ows of your [C]mind
Now a shop[G]ping mall is [D]found built
on that [C]bloody battleground
And I [G]always see it [D]open on [C]my way home
[G]Sig[Bm]ns that advertise fre[Em]e salvation
are the [F]very ones who take your soul [D]away
But there's [G]you and [Em]me and
one [C]hundred and [G]three
Reas[Am]ons to leave those t[D]roubled
days be[G]hind[D][C][D][G][D]
[C]
[D]I can [G]empathize mysel[D]f I know
[C]it can be overwhelming
History's [G]rubbed it's grubby
[D]hands [C]on everything
There's [G]the dates and piles of em[D]bers
someone's [C]bothered to remember
It's [G]the secrets that weren't
[D]written down [C]that haunt you
[G]Your saying tha[Bm]t ghosts they
really do [Em]walk among us
And [F]these must be the angriest [D]of all
But there's [G]you and [Em]me and
one [C]hundred and [G]three
Reas[Am]ons to leave those t[D]roubled days beh[C]ind

[Verse 2]
There's a [Bm]deer head that's
mounted in the K- [Em]Mart
It was [C]donated when they closed
the Five And [G]Dine
With [Bm]antlers like strikes
[C]of lightning frozen in [D]time
We're always [G]worried when you're gone
[D]You said you[C]'d spaced
out on the lawn
Counting [G]columns of the
[D]Antebellum [C]homes
When you woke [G]up in Athens Greece
[D]You were surrounded[C] by police
Who picked you [G]up and lovingly
[D]carried [C]you back [G]home
To [Bm]dredge your dreamy four
[Em]flashes of meaning
It's like [F]running along side a moving [D]train
But there's [G]you and [Em]me and one h[C]undred
and [G]three reason[Am]s
To leave those [D]troubled days
be[G]hind[D][C][D]
Yeah there's [G]you and [Em]me
[C]eighten sixty thr[G]ee
Watch[Am]ing the proclam[D]ation
