VERSE
A5                      G5
Don't breathe too deep, Don't think all day

A5              G5
Dive into work, Drive the other way

C#5            D5  C#5             E5
That drip of hurt, That pint of shame

C#5             D5         E5
Goes away, Just play the game
CHORUS
                 A5      F#5
You're living in America

                    E5(1)  D5
At the end of the millennium

                 A5      F#5
You're living in America

                      F5        D5
Leave your conscience at the tone

                          A5      F#5
And when you're living in America

                    E5(1)  D5
At the end of the millennium
(CHORUS-RIFF1 HERE) You're what you own VERSE
A5                         G5
The filmmaker cannot see, And the songwriter cannot hear

A5                         G5
Yet I see Mimi everywhere, Angel's voice is in my ear

C#5                D5         C#5                          E5
Just tighten those shoulders, Just clench your jaw til you frown

C#5                   D5         E5
Just don't let go, Or you may drown
CHORUS
                 A5      F#5
You're living in America

                    E5(1)  D5
At the end of the millennium

                 A5      F#5
You're living in America

                      F5        D5
Where it's like the twilight zone

                          A5      F#5
And when you're living in America

                    E5(1)  D5
At the end of the millennium
(CHORUS-RIFF1 HERE) You're what you own BRIDGE
D5                 B5
So I own not a notion

      A5
I escape an ape content

D5               A5      E5
I don't own emotion- I rent

F#5        A5             D5
What was it about that night

F#5        A5             E5
Connection- In an isolating age

G#5                  B5             C#5
For once the shadows gave way to light

G#5               C#5      D#5
For once I didn't disengage

B5                   C#5
Angel- I hear you- I hear it

D#5
I see it- I see it my film!

B5          C#5
Alexi-Mark, Call me a hypocrite

  D#5
I need to finish my Own film
I quit! CHORUS2
        A#5      G5
Dying in America

                    F5   D#5
At the end of the millennium

               A#5    G5
We're dying in America

                  F#5      D#5
To come into our own

                         A#5     G5
And when you're dying in America

                    F5     D#5
At the end of the millennium
(CHORUS-RIFF2 HERE) You're not alone
G#5     D#5   F5(2)
I'm not alone

G#5     D#5   F5(2)
I'm not alone
Possibly the most appalling end to a song ever but up to then it's pretty good. Tab is perfect although the C#5 in the chorus sounds a little dissonant but it shold be fine.
