[Intro] A [Verse]
A                           Aaug
   You can drive across the whole thing 

        F#m                A
in four days if you really wanted 

G                   F#m
   leaving custom thank you notes 

            A               D
in all the houses you ever haunted 

A                       Aaug
   in this whole solar system 

F#m                            G
   we've only met one type of life 

A                           Aaug
   it's the living kind of life 

Bm                          D
   and it's not one I recognize 
[Chorus]
A       G   F#m     D
   America,    America

A       G   Bm      D
   America,    America

A       G   F#m     D
   America,    America

A       G   E       D
   America,    America
[Verse] (bass holds A until „You can spend every …")
A
  I said "excuse me" to the ocean 

          Aaug
because I thought I had got in its way 

   F#m
At first I didn't think it heard me 

    A
but then I saw it wave 

              G
You can spend every living moment thinking 

        F#m
How can I get out alive? 

A
  But is it really then, can you really call it 

D
  Hey man, just shut up and drive 

  A
I thought we'd be on the road all night 

          Aaug
when that ice storm hit in Texas 

    F#m
and when we pulled into the gas station 

       G
It was like a frozen oasis 

A
  Oh, sweet mama, 

          Aaug
does that neon sign shine for me? 

           Bm
Is there a street where my name glows 

                D
all through the night? 
[Chorus]
         A                G
And I've never read (America)

        F#m              D
No I've never been (America)

       A                G
I just never went (America)

       Bm               D
I have never seen (America)

         A                 G
And I've never wrote (America)

        F#m              D
No I've never been (America)

       A                 G
I just never spoke (America)

       E               D
I just wanna see (America)
[Verse] (bass holds A until „Is this your salvation plan?")
       A
All my fantasies are faking orgasms 

             Aaug
They're only in it for the money I made up for them 

            F#m
I trade in ideas, opinions and artistry 

       A
And my face is on every dollar 

        G
This is heaven but heaven is here

        F#m
This is heaven but heaven is hard 

             A
Because your lover is listening to music you don't know 

           D
And you're   tangled up in the headphone wires 

             A
You know our problems, they don't end 

            Aaug
Just because    we get boy/girlfriends 

   F#m
Is this your salvation plan?

   G
Is this your salvation plan? 

             A
Oh, there's only one type of love 

         Aaug
It's the loving kind of love 

                Bm
But when you're mad at me it's the end of times 

        D
And I'm   mad at you all the other times 
[Chorus]
       A                    G
Have I ever really (Been in love) 

             F#m                   D
I guess I've never really (Been in love) 

       A                     G
Have I ever really (Been in love) 

           Bm                       D
Not in the way I'm thinking(Been in love) 

       A                    G
Have I ever really (Been in love) 

             F#m                   D
I guess I've never really (Been in love) 

           A                    G
Oh, have I ever really (Been in love) 

           E                     D
No,no I've never really (Been in love) 
[Bridge]
E
   Real life's a mess 

        A
But at least you're not paying rent 

            D
You've been making it, maybe even breaking even 

    Bm            G
You oughta be content 

E
   It doesn't make sense 

             A
You're still sitting on the fence 

         G
When the yard is yours 

           F#m               D
And it was money well spent 
A G F#m A G F#m A [Chorus]
         A                G
