[Intro]
Em D/F# Am C x4 C
[Verse 1]
Em
I was drivin' to the border
D/F#
I was sweatin' in my car
Am
I was thinkin' about my problems
C
And how small they really are
Em
I was listenin' to music
D/F#
I was cuttin' through the land
Am
When I came across a roadblock
C
Only members of the band
Em
Past this point, rolled down my window
D/F#
Asked 'em what’s the way to go
Am
They said their ferry had been shut down
C
Since the world fuckin' exploded
Em
So I drove along this channel
D/F#
That separates the land
Am
With a mask around my neck
C
Sanitizer for my hands
Em
And as I drove across the bridge
D/F#
I thought they might not let me in
Am
But then I thought about privilege
C
And the color of my skin
[Instrumental]
Em D/F# Am C C
[Verse 2]
Em
And I was headed for my sister’s
D/F#
And the sun was goin' down
Am
And the I-96 freeway
C
Was as quiet as the town
Em
I saw somethin' on the shoulder
D/F#
It was the body of a deer
Am
And within another mile
C
There was another one appeared
Em
And then another and another
D/F#
And I’m thinkin' about these trucks
Am
And do they aim for them on purpose
C
‘Cause they think that it’s good luck
Em
And man I probably saw ten bodies
D/F#
As if one was not enough
Am
And I was thinkin' maybe someone
C
Could at least come clean 'em up
Em
And I was listening to Kendrick
D/F#
Thinkin' deer sure got it rough
Am
And I was thinkin' maybe someone
C
Could pretend to give a fuck
[Instrumental]
Em D/F# Am C x2 C

And how hard it is for anyone

To change the state they’re in
