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

Where do we run to now?
