I'm not sure if these are the right lyrics, I'll keep checking on the official release. Let me know of any 
corrections that need to be made!



[Intro]
Dm

[Verse 1]
Dm
And so I've arrived
Dm
With gloat in my eyes
Dm                 F        Dm
Are you paying attention?

F    Dm


[Chorus 1]
F                           C                       Am
I was searching for something as I watched you run
Em                               Dm
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
F                           C                       Am
Were you looking for someone as I watched you go?
Em                    Dm
Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for?
F                            C             Am
I've been looking for so long in Amerika
Em                           Dm
Throw my hands in the air
[Verse 2]
       F         Dm
Flash, fade in
           F                  Dm
Say you care, but you don't
              F         Dm
You know I hate it
        F                                           Dm
It's a rich kid game and it'll blow up with a throw
Dm
That's all that it really is


[Chorus 2]
F                           C                       Am
I was searching for something as I watched you run
Em                               Dm
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
F                           C                       Am
Were you looking for someone as I watched you go?
Em                    Dm
Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for?
F                           C              Am
Always talking about one day in Amerika
        Em        Dm
Same old story, oh you are porcelain
F                           C
I've been looking for so long
                Am
But you cut me out
Em
Throw my hand to the air cause I...

Dm

[Verse 3]
       F      Dm
Look at us
        F                  Dm
Oh, the friends we were
   F          Dm
So generous
         F                                Dm
But that rich kid pain what it is to be alone

It's only really used


[Chorus 3]

F                           C                       Am
I was searching for something as I watched you run
Em                               Dm
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
F                           C                       Am
Were you looking for someone as I watched you go?
Em                    Dm
Are you mad because I don't know what you used me for?
F                           C             Am
Always talking about one day in Amerika
        Em        Dm
Same old story, oh you are porcelain


[Outro]
F       C          Am   Em   Dm
In Amerika, in Amerika
F       C          Am   Em   Dm
In Amerika, in Amerika
F       C          Am   Em   Dm
