[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C America made me C Of brick and coal and rubber C America made me F A camp and cold little kickabout C And look at me now
[Verse 2]
C Aluminum paved me C I was primped and poised and shit out C Antediluvian lady F You won’t get far in a knockabout C With your keel in the ground
[Chorus]
F America made me Am E America saved me from myself F And all these wishers-well F America parade me E I dare you to lull me to my knees F And give me something sweet C Maybe something that will get me back to sleep
[Verse 3]
C They told me to line up C They said, keep your mind out of the gutter C Or it’s likely you’ll wind up F In some dark hole all a-mutter about C All the ways you’ve been wronged
[Verse 4]
C So America, heal me C Come kick my door off the hinges C Swap me out for a real me F One that’s not always going on about C How he’ll never belong
[Chorus]
F America made me Am E So America, save me from myself F You long to, I can tell F Abuse and abrade me Am E I’m coming to you on my hands and knees F Just feed me something soft and sweet C Maybe something that won’t keep me from my sleep
[Bridge]
D Oh no, give me something to sleep F Give me something to sleep C And maybe something that won't keep me from my sleep D Oh no, give me something to sleep F A little something to sleep C Maybe something that won't keep me from my sleep
