[Am][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
I [Am]come from
[Em]a ti[D]me that hasnt happened yet,
And [Am]I have been be[Em]tter - b[D]ut I
can't quite remember when.
He [Am]works two [Em]jobs,
gives [D]half his pay to the government.
Now [Am]tell [Em]yourself that [D]your
not killing yourself to live.
And [Am]that's [Em]the e[D]xcuse,
[F]for our [G]drug abuse.
There [C]was a time when
America was [Am]my life
And now it feels we are [F]living
a lie (living a lie)
From [G]the time I wake to the time I sleep everything
is just too much for [Am]me.[Em][D][Am][Em][D]
We [Am]take the [Em]pills,
[D]to keep the nausea at bay,
And [Am]now they take [Em]us and we[D]
feel worse than yesterday.
[Am]Throw a [Em]war [D]against
the wall see if it sticks
And [Am]if it do[Em]esn't oh w[D]ell,
at least were white and [Am]rich.[Em][D]
There [F]was [G]a t[C]ime when
America was my [Am]life
And now it feels we [F]are
living a lie (living a lie)
From [G]the time I wake to
the time I sleep
Everything is just too much for
[Am]me.[C][Am]
[F][G]
[C]Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell,
My sweet friends I have
[Am]moved myself to,
Moved myself to [F]Amsterdam,
Amsterdam in [G]detest of our futile war

[Outro 1]
So cheers my dears from the other shore.
[Am]
