[Verse 1]
A Bm
Jane Austen what did you find?
D A
Did you think it unkind?
E E7 F#m A
When all the readers laughed and went back to suits and cash
Bm D
There's distance from your realization and the way you've been
Bm D A
No one can be so cold and be without skin
E
but it's been hundreds of years and there is no care
F#m
The girls went to fix their hair
A
Oh Jane cause
[Chorus]
D Bm A
You don't know what it's like to be American
D Bm F#m
You don't know what it's like to be American

[Verse 2]
A Bm
Jane Austen where have you gone?
D A E E7 F#m
Is it anyone's fault that we escape into our own defense?
A Bm D Bm
And trash up all the conversations and the innocent brigades
D E A
What does it even mean to be a lover's wage?
E
And there's too much pain in this wine we made
F#m
I'll grip the man with a cape
A
Oh Jane cause
[Chorus]
D Bm A
You don't know what it's like to be American
D Bm A
You don't know what it's like to be American
D Bm A
You don't know what it's like to be American
D Bm E A
You don't know what it's like to be American
[Ending]
A D Bm A
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you don't know what it's like
A D Bm A
You don't know what it's like, no, ooooh
A D Bm A
You don't know what it's like to be American
A D Bm A
You don't know what it's like to be American
