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