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
We stay up to carry the flameD  
DAnd when it's all said and done
In these alternate endings
When Gnothing is love
But the stragglers and empties
We're Asleeping it off
                                      D  A*
Just to wake up and start it again
BmSo burn the statues to the ground
GmStart to lay your weapons down
DBound for glory on this street
ABut there's a bridge up overhead
BmNoise cancel, drown the signal out
GmChange channels, manufactured doubt
DWhen the only thing we'll fight for every day
AIs a better seat on a crashing...
Gm*
Plain to see, but hard to breathe
A*
The streets are full of tumbleweeds
[Chorus]
And now it's Dmorning in the streets of AmerikaG  
EmBut we don't go outAside anymore
DThe radio blasts hysteriaG  
EmWhile the television's sidewayAs on the floorD  
[Verse 2]
DUnder moonlit skies and surveillance
GAs we cheer from the stands in the stadiums
AOn a jumbotron we all sing along to escapeD  A  
BmOnce we were the lighthouse
GmTo the world's most desperate ships
But what we bDecame was a towering flame
Leading the mAoth right into it
           Gm*               A*           *slap*
Now we are waking up to the phone lines cut
[Chorus]
'Cause it's Dmorning in the streets of AmerGika
And Emwe don't go outsiAde anymore
The Dradio blasts hysteriaG  
WhilEme the television's sidewayAs... on the floorBm  
[Verse 3]
With a teBmleprompter in our fGmaces
Yeah, we don't even know what we're sayDing
Car that's slowly cArashing
And we can't  look aBmway
Parading to the edge of the Gmcliff now
We're trying to figure out how to get dowDn
While the night is fast appAroaching

Half-Step Down Tuning

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Stand by to switch on

We fire out all pistons

We're singing along

But no one is listening

From dusk until dawn

We stay up to carry the flame

And when it's all said and done

In these alternate endings

When nothing is love

But the stragglers and empties

We're sleeping it off

D A

Just to wake up and start it again

So burn the statues to the ground

Start to lay your weapons down

Bound for glory on this street

But there's a bridge up overhead

Noise cancel, drown the signal out

Change channels, manufactured doubt

When the only thing we'll fight for every day

Is a better seat on a crashing...

Plain to see, but hard to breathe

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]

Under moonlit skies and surveillance

As we cheer from the stands in the stadiums

A D A

On a jumbotron we all sing along to escape

Once we were the lighthouse

To the world's most desperate ships

But what we became was a towering flame

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

Yeah, we don't even know what we're saying

Car that's slowly crashing

And we can't look away

Parading to the edge of the cliff now

We're trying to figure out how to get down

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
