F# D
Well I've seen this whole country, all the lonely spots, the highway stops.
F# E
And nothing really changes but the weather and the way people talk.
F#
Yeah, I've seen America.
D
And from the ghettos to the hills and to the suburbs the same sorrows fall
F# E
It's all stomachaches and coughing, cigarettes and death and telephone calls
F#
You forgot to lock the door, America.
D
Yeah I've seen you undressed.
A
Is it true what they told me, America?
E
'Cause you were stunning in the flesh.
F# D
Well I was walking through a casino in Las Vegas I saw a plastic Statue of Liberty
F# E
Posed like Marilyn Monroe, completely absent of that silent iron dignity
F#
Oh, goddamn it, America.
D
I couldn't have said it better myself.
A
Is it true what they taught me, America?
E
Oh did your guns once make us proud?
F#
Oh please don't fuck this up, America.
D
Oh you're not thinking of your health.
A
You're gettin greedy now, America.
E
Are you being true to yourself,
Or to anybody else?

{Just do whatever you want here, have fun ;) } D
Well I woke up in Manhattan I guess I got so drunk I slept in my car
And in those deep and desperate moments they say that ya
F# E
Get the most clarity, I was a prophet I saw from so far
F#
Oh we're hungover, America.
D
We need a shave, I need coffee.
A
But I should thank you, America.
E
'Cause I did not build this city.
F#
C'mon, give me something to die for, America!
D
Until then, don't bother me.
A
I wanna believe in you, America.
E
I don't give a fuck if you believe in me!
F#
I wanna say "I love you, America!"
D
For all the things you've granted me.
A
But I'm ashamed of you, America.
E
How you convinced me we were free.
And I, well I take that personally!
