[Verse]
Em                           G D
I heard you sing a rebel song,
Em                           G D
sung it loud and all alone.
Em                                 G D
We can't afford the things you save,
Em                           G D
we can't afford the warranty.
Em                G
I see you walking in the glare
D                Em
down the county road we share.
Em                     G
Our southern blood, my heresy,
D                Em
damn that ol' confederacy. 

[Chorus]
G         D
 It took a long time to
Am              C   D         
 become the thing I am to you.
G            D            Am
 And you won't tear it apart
              C      D       Em
without a fight, without a heart. 

[Verse]
Em                                G D
I'm sorry for what you have learned,
Em                           G D
when you feel the tables turn.
Em                           G D
To run so hard in your race,
Em                           G D
now you find who set the pace.
Em             G
The landed aristocracy
D                    Em
exploiting all your enmity.
Em                 G
All your daddies fought in vain,
D                   Em
leave you with the mark of Cain. 

[Chorus]
G         D
 It took a long time to
Am              C   D         
 become the thing I am to you.
G            D            Am
 And you won't tear it apart
              C      D         G
without a fight, without a heart. 
        D           Am
It took a long time to
        C      D      G
become you, become you.

[Verse]
Em                           G D
The center holds, so they say. 
Em                           G D
It never held too well for me.
Em                               G D
I won't stop short for common ground
Em                             G D
that vilifies the trodden down.
Em                  G
The center held the bonded slave
D              Em 
for the sake of industry.
Em                  G
The center held the bloody hand
D          Em
of the execution man. 

[Chorus]
G         D
 It took a long time to
Am              C   D         
 become the thing I am to you.
G            D            Am
 And you won't tear it apart
              C      D         G
without a fight, without a heart. 
        D           Am
It took a long time to
        C      D      G
become you, become you.
