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