Verse 1
(C major) Stand by to switch on
We fire out all pistons
We're singing (F major) along
But no one is listening
From (G major) dusk until dawn
We stay up to carry the flame (C major)
And when it's all said and done
In these alternate endings
When (F major) nothing is love
But the stragglers and
empties
We're sleeping (G major) it off
Just to wake up and start it again
(C major) (G major)
Verse 2
(A minor) So burn the statues to the ground
(F major) Start to lay your weapons down (C major)
Bound for glory on this street (G major)
But there's a bridge up
overhead (A minor)
Noise cancel,
drown the signal out (F major)
Change channels, manufactured doubt
(C major) When the only thing we'll
fight for every day (G major)
Is a better seat on a crashing...
(F major) Plain to see, but hard to breathe
The streets (G major) are full of tumbleweeds

Verse 3
And now it's (C major) morning (G major) in
the streets of (F major) Amerika
But (D minor) we don't go out (F major) side (G major) anymore
(C major) The (G major) radio blasts (F major) hysteria
While the television's (D minor) sideways
(F major) (G major) on the floor
(C major)
Verse 4
Under moonlit skies and surveillance
As we cheer (F major) from the stands
in the stadium (B flat major) s
(F major) On a (G major) jumbotron we all sing
along (F major) to (C major) escape (G major) (A minor)
Once we were the lighthouse
To the world's (F major) most desperate ships
But what we became (C major) was
a towering flame
Leading the moth (G major) right into it
Now we are (F major) waking up to
the phone (G major) lines cut
Verse 5
'Cause it's (C major) morning (G major) in
the streets of (F major) Amerika
And (D minor) we don't go outside (F major) (G major) anymore
(C major) The radio blast (F major) s hysteria
While the (D minor) television's sideways (F major)
(C major) (A minor) (C major) on the floor (E minor)
Verse 6
With a (C major) (D minor) teleprompter in (E minor) our faces (F major)
Yeah, we don't even know
what (G major) we're say (A minor) ing
Car that's slowly crashing (G major)
And we can't look away (E minor)
Parading (C major) to the edge of
the cliff (F major) now
We're trying to figure out
how (G major) to get (A minor) down
While the night is fast approaching (G major)
Would we even (F major) recognize our former
lives (G major) in this artificial light?
Verse 7
(C major) Morning in the streets of (F major) Amerika
But (D minor) we don't go out
(F major) side (G major) anymore
(C major) There's something
wrong with (F major) the stereo
And the (D minor) television's (F major) sideways
(G major) We're (C major) mourning (G major) in the streets
of (F major) Amerika (C major)
Mourning (G major) in the streets of
(F major) Amerika
We're mourning (C major) (G major) in the streets
of (F major) Amerika (C major)
Mourning (G major) in the streets (F major) of Amerika
