[Intro]

E Bsus4

You uppity little ghost

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

Don't you even know you're dead

E Bsus4

We police the past

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

Your future's in your head

E Bsus4

We've hollowed out our bibles

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

to hide our golden guns

E Bsus4

We've raised a silver gallows

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

and the jewelry of your sons

E Bsus4

A tattered flag is crimson

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

with a blood that can't be wrong

F#m Bsus4

Take one last drag of night air

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

Cinch that blackness in a lung

F#m Bsus4

As we hoist another nightmare

[Chorus]

Look away

Bsus4

Look away

Asus2 E

Move along, nothing to see here

E Bsus4

Look away, hey you there

Asus2 E

Are you even supposed to be here

F#m

We don't need a reason

Bsus4

Keep your dreams where we can see them

F#m Bsus4

Like that, aww baby, right there

E Asus2 Bsus4

It's just another nightmare in America

E Asus2 Bsus4

It's just another nightmare in America

[Verse]

E Bsus4

Ain't no use praying

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

There's no soul there to save

E Bsus4

Boy you're just the difference

C#m7 Bsus4

'tween a hole

Asus2

And a grave

E Bsus4

And that's exactly how they'll mark it

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

Even if a camera sees us

Asus2 Bsus4

I'll fill out some paperwork and sleep like baby Jesus

[Chorus]

Look away

Bsus4

Look away

Asus2 E

Move along, nothing to see here

E Bsus4

Look away, hey you there

Asus2 E

Are you even supposed to be here

F#m

We don't need a reason

Bsus4

Keep your dreams where we can see them

F#m Bsus4

Just like that, aww baby, right there

E Asus2 Bsus4

It's just another nightmare in America

E Asus2 Bsus4

It's just another nightmare in America

[Solo]

E Asus2 Bsus4

(x4)

[Verse]

E Bsus4

That jury don't look so sad to me

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

That conviction makes it right

E Bsus4

What you're calling a tragedy

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

I call just another night

E Bsus4

We all pray to firepower

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

And really what did you expect

E Bsus4

If you'll allow me to interpret

C#m7 Bsus4 Asus2

The power to protect

Asus2 Bsus4

I'd say it's six in the chest, two in the neck

[Chorus]

You look away

Bsus4

Look away

Asus2 E

Move along, nothing to see here

E Bsus4

Look away, hey you there

Asus2 E

Are you even supposed to be here

F#m

We don't need a reason

Bsus4

These bullets scream for freedom

F#m Bsus4

Just like that, aww baby, right there

E Asus2

It's just another nightmare in America

Bsus4

(Oh say, can you see)

E Asus2

It's just another nightmare in America

Bsus4

(Oh say, can you see)

E Asus2

It's just another nightmare in America

Bsus4

(Oh say, can you see)

E Asus2

It's just another nightmare in America

Bsus4

(Oh say, you can't see)
