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