G                    D
  Did you give it away?

G                  D         Em
  Did you give it away for free?

                    B11
Don't you give it away

Em                    B11       C
Let's try to keep it in the family

                       G
I know you know desolation

C                      G       D        C
Coming home with your pockets full of sand

                    G
I know it's no vacation

C                         G     D        C
  Now you're plowing your tiny patch of land

                   D       G
In a nation under your command
[Verse]
G                   D
  Did you give it away?

G                  D        Em
  Did you give it away for free?

                       B11
What would you have us pay?

Em                       B11             C
I didn't know that your love was a commodity

                  G
What about appreciation? Oh

C                     Em        D   C
That depends on your depth and density

                G
What about inflation? Oh

C                               Em      D       C
  Your charts and graphs don't mean a thing to me

                         D           
In your nation with its worthless currency

[Verse]
G                        D
  Would you hide in the hay?

G                       D        Em
  Would you hide in the hay with me?

                      B11
Won't you hide in the hay?

Em                              B11                C
  Where it's dark and you can scarcely breathe or see

                G
Assured asphyxiation

C                      G          D          C
  Where the foxes and field mice make their dens

               G
Death by association

C                        G        D     C
  I swore I'd never take anyone there again
To this nation
               D         Em
A nation under your command
[Outro]
B11        C                      D       Em
     this nation, a nation under your command

B11        C                      D       G
     this nation, a nation under your command
