*Intro*

Asus2       Asus2/G


*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       G  E5 (low)
Goes away; just play the game.



*Chorus*

                   Asus2  
You're living in America 
F#m7                      E     D
     At the end of the millenium.
                   Asus2   F#m7
You're living in America;
                      F              
Leave your conscience at the tone.
G                          Asus2   F#m7
And when you're living in America
                     E     D      C#5 D#5 E5
At the end of the millenium.
              Asus2  A
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            G   E5 (low)
Just don't let go or you may drown.


*Chorus Two*
                   Asus2  F#m7
You're living in America
                      E    D
At the end of the millenium.
                   Asus2  F#m7
You're living in America,
                       F           G
Where it's like the Twilight Zone.
                            Asus2  F#m7
And when you're living in America
                      E    D     C#5  D5  E5
At the end of the millenium,
             Asus2  A
You're what you own.

I rent--
