Sara Bareilles - Seriously

^Dm(No^Dm Ly^Dmric^Dms) [Verse 1] Let's start with ^Dmhope I threw in the middle like a ^Dmskipping stone The ^Dmripples won, ^Dmson of a gun ^DmSome would not have thought so But I ^Astand here commander in ^A7chief. And I take that ^Dmseriously

But along the ^Dmway A rogue ^Dmripple turned tidal wave In ^Dmreaction to, what I ^Dmtried to do A ^Dmrebirth of a nation's hatred ^ARed, white, and blue. Is b^A7lack in there too? ^Dm Seriously?

^FOne man Rewriting the ^Abook on bad behavior ^Dm Maybe cheats the neighbors ^A# Feels he gets what they payed for ^FWe can't Pat him on the ^Aback and send him on through, ^Dm No man's ignorance will ^A#ever be his virtue

Is this ^Abest we can be? ^A7 Seriously? ^Dm

Let's talk of ^Dmfear And why I ^Dmdon't bring it in here It's a ^Dmdangerous word, it ^Dmspooks the heard And we ^Dmall bleed in the stampede ^AFear makes a false friend indeed ^A7 And I take it ^Dmseriously

But hear me ^Dmnow, Before the ^Dmtruth gets drowned out By a ^Dmdemagogue flexing A ^Dmdemagogue flexing He's ^Ahistory repeating ^A7

^FAngry? Am I ^Aangry? You ask if I'm ^Dmangry. And ^A#I'm at a loss for words

After ^Fall we've done, Every ^Abattle hard one, Every ^Dmhair gone gray In this ^A#name of this place In a ^Fhistory plagued With in-^Acredible mistakes Still I ^Dmpledge my allegiance to these U-^Anited Divided States ^{A7 Dm}Seriously?

Let's end with ^Dmwhy It's a ^Dmquestion I Want to ^Dmask of us, as a ^Dmpopulace ^DmWhy not take our time Or the ^Aweight of the story... ^A7

^N.C....Seriously
