Asus2 Asus2/G
*Verse One*
A5
Don't breathe too deep,
G5
Don't think all day.

Dive into work,
G5
Drive the other way.
C#5 D5
That bit of hurt,
C#5 E5
(high)
That pint of shame,
C#5 D5 G E5
(low)
Goes away; just play the game.
*Chorus*
Asus2
You're living in America
F#m7 E D
At the end of the millenium.

You're living in America;

Leave your conscience at the tone.

And when you're living in America
E D C#5 D5 E5
At the end of the millenium.

You're what you own.

Well the filmmaker cannot see,
G5
And the songwriter cannot hear.
A5
Yet I see Mimi ev'rywhere.
G5
Angel's voice is in my ear.
C#5 D5
Just tighten those shoulders,
C#5 E5
(high)
Just clench your jaw 'til you frown.
C#5 D5 G E5
(low)
Just don't let go or you may drown.
*Chorus Two*
Asus2 F#m7
You're living in America

At the end of the millenium.

You're living in America,
F G
Where it's like the Twilight Zone.
Asus2 F#m7
And when you're living in America
E D C#5 D5 E5
At the end of the millenium,
Asus2 A
You're what you own.
*Mid-song transition*
G
So I own not a notion.
A
I escape and ape content.
G
I don't own emotion,
E
I rent--
