Ritalin (Born In America) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I was born in America but I feel
like I was raised on mars
No matter how hard I try,
I [C]still feel like I'm an ali[G]en cause
I was taught at a private school,
[Em]my paren[G]t were scared of what I'd do[C]
If I were bul[G]lied, would I [C]one day snap and bring
[D]drugs and guns [G]to school

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Em]
[C][G][C][Am]
[C]If

[Verse 2]
I told [G]you once,
I told you too many times
I've got a real short temper and
I'm out of my mind
[C]Should've been medicated
when I was young
But my mom chose to pray
instead of whoring me out
I [Em]can't shake the feeling
that I'm falling apart
And I know I've been told
I've got fire in my heart
[C]But the world it brings me down
I'm not sure how much more I can [G]take

[Verse 3]
I see [G]a light at the end [C]of the tunnel
I see the light at the end of the [G]tunnel
I see a light at the end [C]of the tunnel
I see the light at the end of the [G]tunnel

[Verse 4]
I was born in [Em]a hospital and I'll
[G]die in a hospit[C]al bed
Alone [G]and happy, will my kids be there,
will they [D]bee too busy

[Verse 5]
[G]You're as fickle as you've
ever been
You'll be gone just as
soon as the [C]trend ends
I'll [G]be playing in [C]front of ten drunk fans
[D]God willing

[Verse 6]
[G]Social media,
you know you're breaking my heart
I got a hundred thousand people
telling me all their thoughts
It's [C]not that I can't relate,
I can't reply to each and every
comment made
We're [Em]never good enough, no
matter how hard we try
There's always a better band,
better song, make up your mind
[C]Do you love us for who we are
Or our skinny jeans and tattooed arm[G]s

[Verse 7]
I see [G]a light at the end [C]of the tunnel
I see the light at the end of the [G]tunnel
I see a light at the end [C]of the tunnel
I see the light at the end of the [G]tunnel

[Verse 8]
I see a [G]light at the end [C]of the [G]tunnel
I see a light at the end [C]of the tunnel

[Interlude 2]
[C][Em][G][C][Em]

[Verse 9]
I was born in [C]America[G][D][C]
I will die in [G]a hospital
I see [D]a light

[Verse 10]
[G]at the end[D] of the tunnel[C]
I was born in [G]America
I see a light at the end of the [C]tunnel

[Verse 11]
[C]
I [G]see a light at the end [C]of the tunnel
I see the light at the end of the [G]tunnel
I see a light at the [F]end of the [C]tunnel

[Verse 12]
I was [C]born [Em]in America[G][C]
I will die in a hospital
Don't let [G]me go[D][G][D][C]
I was born in Amer[Em]ica
[G]Don't [D]let[G] me [D]go[C]
I will die [G]in a hospital
