America Youre Freaking Me Out

The Menzingers

tom:

C      F      Am     F
On the lonely end of history
C             F            Am       F
Swinging and swaying to the murder mystery
C          F          Am        F
Rhyme and reason fled the crime scene
   C        F             Am           F
Of new penthouses next to tents in the streets

[Instrumental]
C   F   Am   F  x2

[Verse 2]
C             F        Am   F
Oh, how do I steer my early 30's
  C      F          Am       F
Before I shipwreck, before I'm 40
    C         F             Am       F
Oh, aint it a shame what we choose to ignore
C            F                Am      F
What kind of monsters did our parents vote for?

[Pre-Chorus]
F                         C
Lately I feel like I'm in puppet Vichy France
          G                      Am
Trying to teach the devil how to dance

[Chorus]
         F     C          G   Am
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
   F        C
To oohs, to ahh's
   G     Am
To big applause
     F         C       G          Am
With all of my anger I scream and shout
   F        C                   G         Am
America, I love you but you're freaking me out
    C     F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
    Am    F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
    C     F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
    Am    F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 3]
C       F           Am   F
Driving through the Bible Belt
C          F            Am    F
Billboards claiming how Jesus felt
C         F         Am          F
Oh, how'd his words confuse themselves?
      C         F             Am          F
With cranks for Christians in powerful positions

[Pre-Chorus]
F                         C
I've always felt like all their pomp and circumstance
        G                      Am
Is just cover for the devil to dance

[Chorus]
         F     C          G   Am
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
   F        C
To oohs, to ahh's
   G     Am
To big applause
     F         C       G          Am
With all of my anger I scream and shout
   F        C                   G         Am
America, I love you but you're freaking me out

[Interlude]
Am  G  C   Dm   F  x2

[Bridge]
Am               G        C
America, you're freaking me out
     Dm             F
With all my anger I shout
Am         G C      Dm               F
Can't you recognize truth from clever lies?

[Chorus]
         F     C          G   Am
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
   F        C
To oohs, to ahh's
   G     Am
To big applause
     F         C       G          Am
With all of my anger I scream and shout
   F        C                   G         Am
America, I love you but you're freaking me out
         F     C          G   Am
To these sing-alongs of siren songs
   F        C
To oohs, to ahh's
   G     Am
To big applause
     F         C       G          Am
With all of my anger I scream and shout
   F        C                   G         Am
America, I love you but you're freaking me out

[Outro]
    C     F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
    Am    F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
    C     F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
    Am    F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
    C     F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
    Am    F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
    C     F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
    Am    F
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
