[Intro] D C D C G/B A Dm A7sus D C [Verse 1]
    G/A  D                  G
I'm in search of greener pastures

               D                 G
Don't like my garden's what I said

                D                     G
Although I'm working harder than last year

          D      G       D
I'm still deep in the red

        C                  G
I am rowing as hard as I can

             C                    G
And they're selling me up a stream

            D           Bm
I'm always one more step away

E                      Dm   D9sus4
From the American dream
[Verse 2]
    G/A  D                  G
I got a chip on my shoulder

            D                 G
About the size of a mental block

              D                 G
I've got someone on the telephone

          D          G        D
Trying to sell me a future in stock

        C                   G
Maybe I work too hard to be happy

             C                  G
And I should practice letting go

           D             Bm
But it's hard not to rock the boat

    E                              Dm   D9sus4
When you're sailing against the undertow
[Chorus]
 D             G             A
I want to slide into the black

                   D
And wear the black mask

               G
I might not get what I lack

A               Dm         D9sus4
But it doesn't hurt to ask
N.C. If I want to sail
G          A            D
I need my life to be breezier

D            C           G/B
I said please, God or someone

          A Gsus F  D
Make it   easier
[Interlude] D C D C G/B A Dm A7sus D C [Verse 3]
    G/A    D                  G
I went to Sunday school every Sunday

               D                 G
Swallowed the bait and I got the hook

              D               G
When I needed something someday

       D          G      D
I would read the good book

              C                   G
Tell me what does it take to get ahead

             C                  G
Sometimes I know I'd sell my soul

            D                         Bm
When it looks like everybody else is flying

    E                       Dm   D9sus4
And I'm crawling in the hole
[Verse 4]
    G/A  D                  G
Well maybe if I open my own business

           D               G
Maybe if I buy a lottery ticket

             D                 G
Someone tell me what is the secret

   D       G             D
To getting out of the thicket

         C                G
Give me more than just a sample

        C             G
I need a whole lot of glory

   D                Bm
My life become an example

    E                       Dm   D9sus4
Of the American success story
[Chorus]
 D             G             A
I want to slide into the black

                   D
And wear the black mask

               G
I might not get what I lack

A               Dm         D9sus4
But it doesn't hurt to ask
N.C. If I want to sail
G          A            D
I need my life to be breezier

D            C           G/B
I said please, God or someone

          A Gsus F  D
Make it   easier
[Chorus]
 D             G             A
I want to slide into the black

                   D
And wear the black mask

               G
I might not get what I lack

A               Dm         D9sus4
But it doesn't hurt to ask
N.C. If I want to sail
G          A            D
I need my life to be breezier

D            C           G/B
I said please, God or someone

          A Gsus F  D
Make it   easier

          A Gsus F  D
Make it easier

          A Gsus F  D
Make it easier
