Half-Step Down Tuning

[Intro]

D

[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
We stay up to carry the flame
D
And when it's all said and done

In these alternate endings
G
When nothing is love

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

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

[Chorus]
D G
And now it's morning in the streets of Amerika
Em A
But we don't go outside anymore
D G
The radio blasts hysteria
Em A D
While the television's sideways on the floor

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

[Chorus]
D G
'Cause it's morning in the streets of Amerika
Em A
And we don't go outside anymore
D G
The radio blasts hysteria
Em A Bm
While the television's sideways... on the floor

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

[Chorus]
D G
Morning in the streets of Amerika
Em A
But we don't go outside anymore
D G
There's something wrong with the stereo
Em A
And the television's sideways
D G
We're mourning in the streets of Amerika
D G
Mourning in the streets of Amerika
D G
We're mourning in the streets of Amerika
D* G*
Mourning in the streets of Amerika
