Intro:

D MajorD

Verse 1:
D*
Stand by to switch on

We fire out all pistons
    G*
We're singing along

But no one is listening
   A*
From dusk until dawn
                D MajorD
We stay up to carry the flame
D MajorD
And when it's all said and done

In these alternate endings
   G+G
When nothing is love

But the stragglers and empties
   A augmentedA
We're sleeping it off
                  D MajorD A*
Just to wake up and start it again

B minorBm
So burn the statues to the ground
G minorGm
Start to lay your weapons down
D MajorD
Bound for glory on this street
A augmentedA
But there's a bridge up overhead
B minorBm
Noise cancel, drown the signal out
G minorGm
Change channels, manufactured doubt
D MajorD
When the only thing we'll fight for every day
A augmentedA
Is a better seat on a crashing...
Gm*
Plain to see, but hard to breathe
A*
The streets are full of tumbleweeds

Chorus:
      D MajorD                 G+G
And now it's morning in the streets of Amerika
E minorEm         A augmentedA
But we don't go outside anymore
D MajorD             G+G
The radio blasts hysteria
E minorEm              A augmentedA       D MajorD
While the television's sideways on the floor


Verse 2:
D MajorD
Under moonlit skies and surveillance
G+G
As we cheer from the stands in the stadiums
A augmentedA                     D MajorD A augmentedA
On a jumbotron we all sing along to escape
B minorBm
Once we were the lighthouse
G minorGm
To the world's most desperate ships
       D MajorD
But what we became was a towering flame
       A augmentedA
Leading the moth right into it
      Gm*        A*      *slap*
Now we are waking up to the phone lines cut


Chorus:
      D MajorD               G+G
'Cause it's morning in the streets of Amerika
  E minorEm        A augmentedA
And we don't go outside anymore
  D MajorD           G+G
The radio blasts hysteria
  E minorEm            A augmentedA         B minorBm
While the television's sideways... on the floor


Verse 3:
     B minorBm         G minorGm
With a teleprompter in our faces
                    D MajorD
Yeah, we don't even know what we're saying
          A augmentedA
Car that's slowly crashing
          B minorBm
And we can't look away
              G minorGm
Parading to the edge of the cliff now
                     D MajorD
We're trying to figure out how to get down
              A augmentedA
While the night is fast approaching
     Gm*       Bm*          A*
Would we even recognise our former lives in this artificial light?


Chorus:
 D MajorD             G+G
Morning in the streets of Amerika
 E minorEm          A augmentedA
But we don't go outside anymore
 D MajorD             G+G
There's something wrong with the stereo
 E minorEm         A augmentedA
And the television's sideways
 D MajorD                G+G
We're mourning in the streets of Amerika
 D MajorD             G+G
Mourning in the streets of Amerika
  D MajorD            G+G
We're mourning in the streets of Amerika
  D*            G*
Mourning in the streets of Amerika
