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

Where do we run to now?

Where do we run to now?
