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

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.

Porn's on the rise

They're gonna be oh so jealous
                                  Dm
We're gonna be oh so silent

[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

A nice place for you and I
