Verse
A E/G# F#m
There was a song you used to play
D D/C# Bm E/G#
Before they drove you away
F#m E/G# A D
And I remember every stroke
Bm A G E/G#
Of every chord you played
A E/G# F#m
In the room they gave the band
D D/C# Bm E/G#
I thought I heard you say
F#m E/G# A D
That rock 'n' roll's the perfect scam
Bm A G E/G#
But it's a crime that doesn't pay
[Chorus]
A E/G#
But for mistress America
F#m E/G#
I'm gonna get a gun
D E/G# A E/G#
And learn the words to all of your songs
A E/G# F#m E/G#
Mistress America, smile for the camera
D E/G# A E/G#
I think we're gonna make it this timе
D E/G# Bm A
Think we're gonna be finе
[Verse 2]
A E/G# F#m
And I had never prayed before
D D/C# Bm E/G#
But if it keeps the devil from your door
F#m E/G# A D
I'll kneel down and bruise my knees
Bm A G E/G#
On your hard linoleum floors
[Pre-Chorus]
A E/G# F#m
'Cause I thought I saw the light
D D/C# Bm E/G#
But it was just a satellite station
F#m E/G# A D
Just another human creation
Bm A G E/G#
Where you gonna run to now?
[Chorus]
A E/G#
But for mistress America
F#m E/G#
I'm gonna get a gun
D E/G# A E/G#
And learn the words to all of your songs
A E/G# F#m E/G#
Mistress America, smile for the camera
D E/G# A E/G#
I think we're gonna make it this timе
D E/G# Bm A
Think we're gonna be finе
[Bridge]
A D A
Where do we run to now?
D A
Where do we run to now?
D A
Where do we run to now?
[Chorus]
A E/G#
But for mistress America
F#m E/G#
I'm gonna get a gun
D E/G# A E/G#
And learn the words to all of your songs
A E/G# F#m E/G#
Mistress America, smile for the camera
D E/G# A E/G#
I think we're gonna make it this timе
D E/G# Bm A
Think we're gonna be finе
[Outro]

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?
