Am7D7 I'm going to a town that has already been burned down
Gmaj7Cmaj7 I'm going to a place that is already been disgraced
Am7Bmaj7 I'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down
Em I'm so tired of America
(Repeat for Verse 2) I'm gonna make it up for all of the Sunday Times I'm gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes They never really seem to want to tell the truth I'm so tired of you America
Chorus
Am7Em Making my own way home Am7Em Ain't gonna be alone Am7Bmaj7Em I got a life to lead America Am7 I got a life to lead
(Back to Verse) Tell me do you really think you go to hell for having loved Tell me and not for thinking every thing that you've done is good I really need to know After soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood I'm so tired of America I really need to know
I may just never see you again or might as well You took advantage of a world that loved you well I'm going to a town that has already been burned down I'm so tired of you America
(Chorus Again) Making my own way home Ain't gonna be alone I got a life to lead America
