[D]And while you're lying[A] in the[Bm] dark
There [G]shines an everlast

For [A]the King has left [Bm]his throne
And is [G]sleeping in [D]a manger tonight,
[A]tonight

United [A]States of Amer[Bm]ica
Looks like [G]another silent [D]night[A][Bm][G]
[D]As we're sung to [A]sleep by philosophies
[Bm]That save the [G]trees and kill
the chil[D]dren[A][Bm][G]
[D]And while we're lying[A] in
[Bm]the dark
[G]There's a shout heard 'cross
the [D]eastern [A]sky[Bm][G][D]
For the bride[A]groom has re[Bm]turned
And has [G]carried his bride [D]away in the night,
[A]in the[Bm] night[G]

[Verse 6]
[D]Ame[A]rica, what will we mis
