  Is this how it was intended? The sunrise over smoke stacks in the Midwest,
    A
the beauty of this abandoned factory.
D           Bb              Bm             D
  Christmas lights blinking on and off all out of time
        G                A                             Bb
in what used to be, your pink house dreams of a middle class

but all these satellites and shattered dreams are blocking out my view.
                A   G              Em           A

                    G                  A
They honeymooned in Memphis; they were married by the drive up window.
D         Bb          Bm            D            G
  Trailer parks, neon signs, and an empty box of Lucky Strikes:
A                            Bb
all used up on the dashboard of

 Bm          D      G             Bm
America, I'm trying to believe in you
           D                 G                             Em
this world sold its fate for parking lots and drunk sincerity
                A                  Em           A             
        Bb
Please don't forget who you really are, because nothing really matters when we're -

young boy are now nothing but a graveyard
Em                A       G               Em         
 A                      Bb
