[D#m]
[F#]
[A#] [D#m] [F#]
[D#m] That I hurt you
[F#] in my room last night.
[D#m] The only reason we're apart is
[F#] because we had a wall last night.
[D#m] [A#m] When I was ordered [F#] in a palm trunk at night.
[D#m] When I was ordered [F#] on a beach road in the night.
[G#m] Supposed to be a [F#] hostel, but it's bleeding the night diamonds.
[G#] Tried all the [F#] cells, but it's bleeding the night diamonds.
[G#] I didn't [A] spy, [B] [F#] but it is [C#] bad [G#] America.
[A] [B] [F#] I don't know what's inside.
[D#m] I looked up another [F#] thousand times for unmodeled violence.
[D#m] You're a man, you're a woman, you're hip and mean.
[F#] With a nail in my arm.
[D#m] [A#m] I was ordered, [F#]
[C#m]
[D#m] I was ordered.
[F#] And I did not care.
[G#] For a burning [F#] second umbrella in the dark.
[G#m] For a burning [F#] hair strapped behind the door.
[G#] And it's [A] bad, [B] [F#] it's bad [G#] America.
[A] [B] [F#]
[F#m] [F#]
I had a good breath, I've been undestroyed.
But I was a river of gold, and you'd come in time.
I was ordered, [D#m]
[F#] don't see a gold.
[D#m] I was ordered, [F#] [D#m]
[F#] and where did you go?
[C#m]
[G#] And it's [F#] gleaningat children on the waterfront.
[G#] Smack rotting [F#] patients on the [D#m] waterfront.
[G#] And [A] it's [B] bad, [F#] and it's bad [G#] America.
[A] [B] [F#]
And it's
[F#m] [B] [F#]
[G#] gleaning at [F#] children on the waterfront.
[G#] Smack rotting children [F#] on the front.
[G#] [B] [F#] It is bad [G#] [A] America.
[B] [F#] Under the Western [G#] sky, [A] [B] [F#] please [G#] bad America.
[A] [B] [F#] You're a man.
