[Intro]
Dm Am7
Dm Am7 G

[Verse]
Dm                               Am7
I'm putting your patience to the test
Dm                           Am7       G
I'm putting your body on the line, for less
Dm                              Am7
And didn't you know there was a choice?
Dm                           Am7    G
It's never yours but someone else's voice

G Gm

Dm                        Am7
Sellin' your body to the street
Dm                                  Am7        G
I'm sending your girlfriends to the night, for cheap
Dm                       Am7
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Dm                         Am7     G
Sealing a letter made with horse's feet
    G          Gm
And now you've heard that

[Chorus]
Dm            G
Waves turn to grey
Dm          G
Life in the shade
  Dm      G
A violent crime
    Dm           G
And that's the USA
Dm                G
Platinum's on the rise
Dm              G
Playboys in the sky
Dm                  G
I'm just trying' to find...
  Dm             G
A mountain I can climb.

[Bridge]
Dm G
Dm G

Dm Am
Dm Am G

[Verse]
Dm                               Am7
I'm putting your patience to the test
Dm                           Am7       G
I'm putting your body on the line, for less
Dm                              Am7
And didn't you know there was a choice?
Dm                           Am7    G
It's never yours but someone else's voice
    G          Gm
And now you've seen that...

[Chorus]
Dm               G
Blondes turn to grey
Dm            G
Life in the shade.
  Dm        G
A violent crime,
    Dm           G
And that's the USA
Dm             G
Porn's on the rise
Dm               G
Psycho's in disguise.
Dm                  G
I'm just tryin' to find...
  Dm             G
A mountain I can climb.

G Dm

G                           Dm
Darling, ain't nobody gonna tell us
                       G
They're gonna be oh so jealous
                     Dm
We're gonna be oh so silent
                           G
They're gonna be stoned in silence
                   Dm
I didn't want to ask you baby
G                 Dm7  Dm             G
 I didn't want to have to ask anybody baby
                 Dm7 Dm
Is anyone asking may-be?
                G    G7
Can anyone even hear me?

Dm C

Dm
Why are you waiting
C            G
 beyond the door?

G Gm

[Chorus]
Dm            G
Life turns to dust,
            Dm          G
And rain it turns to rust.
Dm            G
Gossip is the truth
    Dm                  G
And money pays for the lies we trust.
     Dm             G
Your love is a surprise
         Dm                G
Homeless saints are in disguise
Dm                 G
I'm just tryin' to find
       Dm                G
A nice place for you and I
