[Verse]
G                   D
I made my home in a ten-ton bomb
    G                   D                Em
And I was so happy with 28 years of free fallin'
                     G            D
Ah, but now it's all guts and I’m bawlin'
G                D
She was born in a tenement walk-up
     G                             D                          Em
With shit for nerves, you know she never learned to talk to adults
                       D
She said "everything's easier in here"

[Interlude]
G D G D
         G                       Em
Like the dancer with bruises who gathers the cash
         G                        Em
When the music is through, no she don’t look back
G            D             Em
I've come to look for America too
G                       D
All I ever wanted was a spot in the mountains
        G                 D                   Em
With an A-frame cabin and nobody counting our days
   G          D
Or cursing or praising our name
        G                      D
But the best we could do is to enter the void
       G                                D             Em
Like a wide-eyed child waking up to the noise of East Harlem
                          D
Don’t they see that we’re starving?

[Verse]
         G                       Em
Like the dancer with bruises who gathers the cash
         G                        Em
When the music is through, no she don’t look back
G            D             Em
I've come to look for America too
    G                       Em
And we stole the car on the 4th of July
  G                       Em
I pawned my guitar and we drove through the night
G            D        Em
I’ve come to look for America too
G            D        Em
I've come to look for America too (woah)
G     Em
(Woah, woah)
G            D        Em
I've come to look for America to
         G                       Em
Like the dancer with bruises who gathers the cas
         G                        Em
When the music is through, no she don’t look back
G            D             Em
I've come to look for America too (woah)
    G                       Em
And we stole the car on the 4th of July
  G                       Em
I pawned my guitar and we drove through the night

G            D        Em
I've come to look for America too
G      D     Em
(Woah, woah, woah)
G            D        Em
I've come to look for America too (woah)
