D Em Jenny found herself in the supermarket line G D With the crossword editor of the New York Times Bm E7 She said, "How does it feel to be so well-read? A I can't even guess what you're reading" D Em He says, "I know I'm a big shot literary boss G G#dim But I do not intend to die on that cross Bm E7 I make what I earn and I won't take no less A I'm not writing birthday greetings." C And then Jenny's blood ran hot G She said, "I'm not one for desk jockeys A But I'll give you a shot."
[Chorus]

D Em Tommy works all day sewin' baseball gloves G D Well he's up all night watching Punch Drunk Love Bm E7 He writes fanfiction on the factory floor A Mostly concerning Fernando D Em And then one fine day on the production line G G#dim Fernando says, "Hey Tommy, I'm runnin' out of time! Bm E7 I'm 28 years old, at the edge of my prime A And I can't even play the piano." C And Tommy says, "Well, hell, Fern, neither can I G A Do you wanna come over and watch a movie sometime?"

D Em Folks, we're nearing the end here G D You've been a lovely audience Bm You just look like a, like a million bucks E7 A If all fifteen of you split that up
You could, you could, uh, well
D Anyway, we've got one more stop on this Em G D Humble escapade through the Great American Bedroom Bm E7 Isaac? A Lovely
[Verse 3]
D Em Margaret starts with an absinthe mist G D Tops it off with a lemon twist Bm E7 Slides a lowball glass down the bar A To a new face in a yellow raincoat D Em Wrings the rag out and wipes down the wood G G#dim Starts to feel like she don't feel so good Bm E7 Steals a glance at an old Polaroid A Tacked up by the Bushmills D Em Danny outside the Divine Lorraine G D Just standin' there in the pouring rain Bm E7 One year from the day he died A Smiling like a child D Em She hears a crackle from the back of the room G G#dim Slow fade-in on a Neil Young tune Bm E7 Turns around at the end of the bar A Sees another smile C And Margaret says, "Hey, stranger, let me ask you a question G You don't look like a dancer A But would you make an exception?"
[Chorus]
D Em Love in the United States D G Empathy makes me a modern lay A F# Bm American kids swing the American way C A What do you learn from your lover? D Em Love in the United States D G Make it while you're payin' off your FHA A F# Bm American kids swing the American way C A What do you learn from your lover? C A What do you learn from your lover? C A What do you learn from your lover?
