*Intro*

A5       A5


*Verse One*

A5
Don't breathe too deep,
G5
Don't think all day.
A5
Dive into work,
G5
Drive the other way.
C#5           D5
That bit of hurt,
C#5           E5 (high)
That pint of shame,
C#5                 D5       G5  E5 (low)
Goes away; just play the game.



*Chorus*

                   A5  
You're living in America 
F#5                      E5     D5
     At the end of the millenium.
                   A5   F#5
You're living in America;
                      F5              
Leave your conscience at the tone.
G5                          A5   F#5
And when you're living in America
                     E5     D5      C#5 D#5 E5
At the end of the millenium.
              A5  A5
You're what you own.



*Verse Two*

           A5
Well the filmmaker cannot see,
         G5
And the songwriter cannot hear.
    A5
Yet I see Mimi ev'rywhere.
        G5
Angel's voice is in my ear.
C#5                  D5
Just tighten those shoulders,
C#5                  E5 (high)
Just clench your jaw 'til you frown.
C#5                  D5            G5   E5 (low)
Just don't let go or you may drown.


*Chorus Two*
                   A5  F#5
You're living in America
                      E5    D5
At the end of the millenium.
                   A5  F#5
You're living in America,
                       F5           G5
Where it's like the Twilight Zone.
                            A5  F#5
And when you're living in America
                      E5    D5     C#5  D5  E5
At the end of the millenium ,
             A5  A5
You're what you own.



*Mid-song transition*

   G5
So I own not a notion.
   A5
I escape and ape content.
   G5
I don't own emotion,
   E5
I rent--


*Riff*

        E5                    C#5                  G#5            D#5
(lead) Angel, I hear you.  I hear it, I see it.  I hear it, my film!
                 (second) Mimi, I see you.  I hear it, I hear it.  I hear it, my song!
        E5           C#5                    G#5
