White Man's World - Jason Isbell
Am Em G Am Em G
I'm a white man livin' in a white man's world
Am Em G Am Em G
Under our roof is a baby girl
Dm Am C Dm Am C
I thought this world could be her's one day
Am Em G Am Em G
But her momma knew better . .
Am Em G Am Em G
I'm a white man livin' in a white man's town
Am Em G Am Em G
Wanna take a shot of cocaine and burn it down
Dm Am C Dm Am C
Momma wants to change that Nashville sound
Am Em G Am Em G
But they're never gonna let her . .
[Chorus]
Dm F Em Am
There's no such thing as someone else's war
Dm F Em Am Em G
Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for
Dm F Em Am Em G
Still breathin' it's not too late
Dm F Em E
We're all carryin' one big burden, sharin' one fate
[Verse 3]
Am Em G Am Em G
I'm a white man livin' on a white man's street
Am Em G Am Em G
I've got the bones of the red man under my feet
Dm Am C Dm Am C
The highway runs through their burial grounds
Am Em G Am Em G
Past the oceans of cotton . .
[Verse 4]
Am Em G Am Em G
I'm a white man lookin' in a black man's eyes
Am Em G Am Em G
Wishin' I'd never been one of the guys
Dm Am C Dm Am C
Who pretended not to hear another white man's joke
Am Em G Am Em G
Ol' times ain't forgotten . .
[Chorus]
Dm F Em Am
There's no such thing as someone else's war
Dm F Em Am Em G
Your creature comforts aren't the only things worth fighting for
Dm F Em Am Em G
Still breathin' it's not too late
Dm F Em E
We're all carryin' one big burden, sharin' one fate
[Verse 5]
Am Em G Am Em G
I'm a white man livin' in a white man's nation
Am Em G Am Em G
I think the man upstairs must'a took a vacation
Dm Am C Dm Am C
I still have faith, but I don't know why
Am Em G Am Em G
Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
Am Em G Am
Maybe it's the fire in my little girl's eyes
