[Verse 1]

         B             F#               E              F#
There's bayonets and bones in these Virginian cobbled stones
     G#m               F#              E     F#
All buried neath' the shadows of your mind
           B                F#                  E            F#
And now a shopping mall is found built on that bloody battleground
       G#m           F#         E   F#
And I always see it open on my way home


[Pre-Chorus]

C#m                   B       F#
Signs that advertise free salvation
         E                            F#
Are the very ones who take your soul away


[Chorus]

             B      F#          E           F#
But there's you and me and one-hundred and three
   G#m                   F#           E      F#
Reasons to leave those troubled days behind

[Verse 2]

        B        F#               E          F#
I can empathise myself I know it can be overwhelming
           G#m               F#            E     F#
History's rubbed its grubby hands on everything
             B                  F#               E             F#
There's the dates and piles of embers someone's bothered to remember
          G#m                  F#                E    F#
It's the secrets that weren't written down that haunt you

[Pre-Chorus]

            C#m                   B         F#
You say If ghosts they really do walk among us
      E                            F#
Then these must be the angriest of all

[Chorus]

             B      F#          E           F#
But there's you and me and one-hundred and three
   G#m                   F#           E      F#
Reasons to leave those troubled days behind

[Bridge]

          D#m                             E
There's a deer head that's mounted in the K-Mart
          G#m                                F#
It was donated when they closed the Five and Dine
      D#m                     E
With antlers like strikes of lightning
           F#
Frozen in time

[Verse 3]

              B                  F#
We're always worried when you're gone
                E                 F#
You said you'd spaced out on the lawn
          G#m           F#          E    F#
Counting columns of the antebellum homes
              B              F#
When you woke up in Athens, Greece
            E           F#
You were surrounded by police
               G#m          F#             E    F#
Who picked you up and lovingly carried you back home

[Pre-Chorus]

    C#m                      B           F#
To dredge your dreaming for flashes of meaning
           E                          F#
It's like running alongside a moving train

[Chorus]

             B      F#          E           F#
But there's you and me and one-hundred and three
   G#m                   F#           E     B F# E F#
Reasons to leave those troubled days behind
              B      F#   E F#
Yeah there's you and me, 1863
   G#m              F#           B
Watching the proclamation being signed
