G                                     Bm
Living your life in the gray
            G                       Bm 
Is the new American way
                 G                                      Bm              C
We're spending what we haven't made

                G                                        Bm
And we save our money in good faith
                           G                             Bm
And we work hard for our living wage
         G                                Bm         C
But still the banks gotta break


                     D
'Cause the dream's a lie 
                   Bm                            C
And the snake, it bit you
                  
When you were awake
                   D 
And the books all fried
                     Bm 
You are bankrupting
              C 
Because all the loans you take
 
G
Big wave, do do do
A
Big wave, do do do
C
Big wave
                                                        G 
It's going to hit you with a big wave 


    G                            Bm
I can't sleep these days
                  G                                Bm 
And my blues, they won't go away
            G                                                 Bm       C 
So there are these little pills I been takin' 
                      G                                          Bm
And my doctor, she says that they're safe
            G                                                    Bm 
But I been sleepwalking down to the lake
           G                           Bm            
And wakin' up in the water 

                  D
And the feeling's a lie
                  Bm                      C 
But the snake, it bit me
 
When I wasn't awake
                    D 
And the scripts, they lie 
                          Bm                   C
I have been poisoned from

All the things I take

G                              Bm
I know you feel deprived
 (You don't trust me)
G                       Bm 
All of us still alive 
(You never touch me)
G                                            Bm 
It's really just that I don't feel
                                    C
Like it much these days 

                 D
And my love's a lie
                        Bm                            C 
'Cause the snake, he visits me
 
When you are away
                      D 
And your dreams don't lie
              Bm                        C 
I have been corrupted
 
'Cause all the lovers I take
