Unpromised Land
View chords used in this chart
Am E
It's not too late to come by my house
Am F
Even though the sun is coming out
C E
Because I'm still up, it's what I do
Am F
When I'm all alone, I think of you
C G
I want you to know
Am
What you do to me
F
I want you to understand that
C G E
Where we are is not the unpromised land
Am F C G
Your mother hoped you'd never find
Am F C G
Your father tried his best but lied
Am F C G
I know your heart is young and wild
Am F C G E
And full of fire and fury tonight
Those freaks you dig
The ones you call your friends
The ones who just don't know
When the party should end
They can go to hell
They can fuck right off
I mean Jesus Christ
Haven't you had enough?
I want you to know
What you do to me
I want you to understand that
Where we are is not the unpromised land
Your mother hoped you'd never find
Your father tried his best to lie
I know your heart is young and wild
And full of fire and fury tonight
So everybody here
Come on and let me know
Come on and make some noise
If you love rock n roll
If you're burned out
And if the fires died
I got the skills
To bring it back to life
I want you to know
What you do to me
I want you to understand that
Where we are is not the unpromised land
Your mother hoped you'd never find
Your father tried his best but lied
I know your heart is young and wild
And full of fire and fury tonight
