As recorded by Jesse Welles (2025 release) [Intro] G D/F# C G D/F# C G [Verse 1]
G                      D/F#
The stainless steel of mass appeal

    C              G
Was rusting in the rain

G
As the spit shine apprentice

D/F#
Polishing princes were

C        G
 Going insane

         Am7
From the makers that brought you permawar

          C
There's a brand new war within

              G                       D/F#
They're gonna catch ya later with the alligators

C               G
Good night, citizen
[Interlude] G D/F# C G [Verse 2]
G              D/F#
Talk is cheap upon the heap

   C             G
Of power seeking rats

G
And the candy tin

        D/F#
Where nicotine zyn

    C            G
And promises are stacked

      Am7
Don't taste so sweet

Am7
As the summer heat

C
Melts the glob apart

      G                   D/F#
I can see the cracks form in the pack

   C                      G
As fair weather friends depart
[Chorus]
G
Who do you love now

           D/F#
Who do you love now

                Am7
Now that you've seen the sun

         C
Is there any one

        G
Left to love now
[Harmonica Solo] G D/F# G C G D/F# C G [Verse 3]
G                                D/F#
They'll pave the trails with the bones of the failed

   C                      G
In borrowed boots they'll stomp

G
As they strain to drain

     D/F#
That pond of pain

  C                 G
Into some different swamp

       Am7
As the wizard of Vermont

C
Shakes his ancient head

        G
And the sun it sets

   D/F#
On our regrets

      C                G
As he makes his way to bed
[Chorus]
G
Who do you love now

           D/F#
Who do you love now

                Am7
Now that you've seen the sun

         C
Is there any one

        G
Left to love now
[Harmonica Solo] G D/F# G C G D/F# C G [Verse 4]
G
The devil said

       D/F#
You've made your bed

            C             G
And there's places I must go

                          D/F#
And that wasn't me in Pennsylvania

      C               G
Musta been one of yer own

        Am7
And the angel of the Lord said

    C
How dare you call this God's

G
Hitch yer wagon

       D/F#
To somethin' else

    C              G
You low down dirty dog
[Chorus]
G
Who do you love now

           D/F#
Who do you love now

                Am7
Now that you've seen the sun

         C
Is there any one

        G
Left to love now

G
Who do you love now

           D/F#
Who do you love now

                Am7
Now that you've seen the sun

         C
Is there any one

        G
Left to love now
