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

Where do we run to now?
E A E
Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?
E A E
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?
