[Refrain 1]
Em Am C D Is it love you're after? Em Am C D A sign of the flood or one more disaster? Em Am C D Don't do to me what you did to America Em Am C D Don't do to me what you did to America
[Verse 1]
Em Am I have loved you, I have grieved C D I'm ashamed to admit I no longer believe Em Am I have loved you, I received C D I have traded my life for a picture of the scenery Em Am C D Don't do to me what you did to America Em Am C D Don't do to me what you did to America
[Refrain 2]
Cmaj7 Em C/E D I give it all up in laughter Cmaj7 Em C/E D The sign of the cross awaiting disaster Cmaj7 Em C/E D The dove flew to me like a vision of paranoia Cmaj7 Em C/E D The dove flew to me like a vision of paranoia
[Verse 2]
Em Am I have loved you (I have loved you) like a dream (like a dream) C D I have kissed your lips like a Judas in heat Em Am I have worshiped (I have worshiped), I believed (I believed) C D I have broke your bread for a splendor of machinery Em Am C D Don't look at me like I'm acting hysterical Em Am C D Don't look at me like I'm acting hysterical
[Verse 3]
Em Am I have worshiped (I have worshipped), I have cried (I have cried) C D I have put my hands in the wounds on your side Em Am I have tasted (I have tasted) of your blood (of your blood) C D I have choked on the waters, I abated the flood Em Am I am broken (I am broken), I am beat (I am beat) C D But I will find my way like a Judas in heat Em Am I am fortune (I am fortune), I am free (I am free) C D I'm like a fever of light in the land of opportunity
[Chorus]
Em Am Don't do to me what you did to America C D (Don't do to me what you do to yourself) Em Am Don't do to me what you did to America C D (Don't do to me what you do to yourself) Em Am Don't do to me what you did to America C D (Don't do to me what you do to yourself) Em Am Don't do to me what you did to America C D (Don't do to me what you do to yourself)
