america made me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]America made me
Of brick and coal and rubber
America made me
A camp and cold [D]little
[E]kic[F]kabout
And look at me now
[C]

[Verse 2]
Aluminum paved me
I was primped and poised
and shit out
Antediluvian lady
You won't get [Am]far [C]in a k[D]nock[F]about
With your keeling aground
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[F]
America made [Am]me
America saved me from [E]myself
And all these wishers- [F]well
America prayed [Am]me
I dare you to lull me to my [E]knees
Give me something [F]sweet
Maybe something that will
get me back [C]to sleep

[Verse 4]
They told me to line up
They said, "Keep your
mind out of the gutter
Or it's likely you'll wind up
In some dark hole all a- mutter [F]about
All the ways you've been
wronged"
[C][Am][C]

[Verse 5]
So America, heal me
Come kick my door off the hinges
Swap me out for a real me
One that's not always going on [F]about
How he'll never belong
[C][G]

[Verse 6]
[F]
America made me
[Am]So America, save me from myself[E]
You long to, I can [F]tell
Abuse and abrade [Am]me
I'm coming to you on my
hands and [E]knees
Just feed me something
[F]soft and sweet
Maybe something that won't
keep me from my [C]sleep

[Verse 7]
Oh [C]no, give me something to [D]sleep
Give me something [F]to sleep
And maybe something that
won't keep me from my sleep
[C]Oh no, give me something to sle[D]ep
A little something [F]to sleep
Maybe something that won't keep me from my
[C]sleep

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][F][Ab][Bb][C]
[D][F][Ab][Bb]

[Verse 8]
[C]Something [Am]to sleep[C]
Something [Am]to s[D]leep
Little something [F]to sleep
Maybe [Ab]something that [Bb]won't
keep me from [C]my sleep
Oh, no, something to [D]sleep

[Verse 9]
[D]Just a little something [F]to sleep
Maybe [Ab]something that [Bb]won't keep me
from my [C]sleep
Oh, no, something [D]sweet
Just a little something to [F]sleep
Maybe something [Ab]that [Bb]won't[C] k[D]eep me
from [F]my sleep
(Something to sleep)
(Something to sleep)
(Something to sleep)

[Outro 1]
(Something to sleep)
