[Verse 1]
Em Bm Where in hell can you go C G Far from the things that you know C G Far from this concrete sprawl D That keeps crawling its way Em About a thousand miles a day Em Bm Take one last look behind C G Commit this to memory and mind C G Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place D When you leave Em keep your heart off your sleeve
[Chorus]
G D Motherland, cradle me C G Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep C Keep me safe, lie with me G D Stay beside me, don't go
[Verse 2]
Em Bm Oh, my five and dime queen C G Tell me what have you seen C The lust and the avarice G D The bottomless, cavernous greed Em Is that what you see?
[Chorus]
G D Motherland, cradle me C G Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep C Keep me safe, lie with me G D Stay beside me, don't go
Don't you go
[Bridge]
C It's your happiness G I want most of all C A D And for that I'd do anything at all C If you want the best of life G and the most of love C A D If there's anything I can do at all
[Verse 3]
Em Bm Now come on shotgun bride C G What makes me envy your life C The faceless, the nameless G The innocent, the blameless D And free Em What's it like to be?
[Chorus]
G D Motherland, cradle me C G Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep C Keep me safe, lie with me G D Stay beside me, don't go G D Motherland, cradle me C G Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep C Keep me safe, lie with me G D Stay beside me, don't go D Don't you go Em Don't you go
