E E/D C#m D
[Verse 1]
E E/D C Am the other America D Em you can find her sundays Am Em A sitting by a stream E E/D on her own C#m D all alone E E/D C Am the other America D Em might show up on tuesdays Am Em D at your kitchen door B7 Em she will ask politely Am Em D B7 is anybody home?
[Chorus]
C Bm Em or did they all lay down D/F# G C to sleep through the now G/B C Bm Em and if they all lay down Am Em D I'll be waiting for them F C D at the river bed G/B C Bm E E/D C#m D once they wake from their rest
[Verse 2]
E E/D C Am the other America D Em takes herself to night school Am Em D to understand the law B7 Em she may bring you questions Am Em D B7 when she finds the flaw
[Chorus]
C Bm Em why did they all lay down D/F# G C to sleep through the now G/B C Bm Em and if they all lay down Am Em D I'll be waiting for them F C D at the river bed G/B C Bm E E/D C#m D once they wake from their rest
[Bridge]
E we could be opening a doorway D globally, but that's okay G once upon a time you had faith B A# you would not be swayed Dm Am by fools untouched by clairvoyance C E and you swore that we'd be brave C well not today B no not today
[Chorus]
C Bm Em because we all lay down D/F# G C to sleep through the now G/B C Bm Em and if we all lay down Am Em D she'll be waiting for us F C D where the rivers cross G/B C Bm E once we wake from our rest C#m D E E/D C A "all the best," The Other America
