D                                                       A/C#
Angry words and honking cars    Satellites and falling stars
Bm                                            G
Distant dark, blue radios that whisper down my boulevard
D                                                       A/C#
Ghosts in chains rattle in the attic Broken headphones filled with static
Bm                                  G
Lonely room, you?ve got nowhere to run
Bm        A                         D            G
Three, two,                 one for all and all for one


D                  Dsus4
Times will be bad, times will be good
D                           A
Things I wish I hadn?t done somehow wish I would
D
Cutting through the American noise
Dsus4              D
You?ve got a voice          and a song to sing
A
(And a song to sing)

G                         A     G/B             A/C#
Drink deep in the morning      Drink deep in the morning
                            D
See what the day will bring


D           Dsus4
la la la la Lift up your voice
D               A
Let love cut through the American noise
D         Dsus4
la la la la Lift up your voice
Bm              A                  D
Let love cut through the American noise

D Dsus4
D                                   A/C#
Slamming doors and cellphone rings Hurricane force of silent screams
Bm                        G
Don?t know what to believe
D                                        A/C#
Bend the rule just to break it  You?re so tired because you got to fake it
Bm                 G
You just want to be someone
Bm         A                    D            G
Three, two,           one  for all and all for one

Prechorus and chorus

G                                 A                             Bm
No matter who you are you?ve got a voice     Why don?t you use it
G                     A                    Bm                        A/C#
Sing your own song   Take all the noise         And make it into music

1st time just la la la
D         Dsus4
la la la la Lift up your voice
D                        A
Let love cut through the American noise
D         Dsus4
la la la la You have a choice
D                       A
Let love cut through the American noise

Ending:
D/F#   G                     D/F#  A
           You?ve Gotta Voice   let love cut through the American Noise
