Lyrics

[Intro]
| Dm - | Am - | Dm - | Am G |

[Verse 1]
Dm                                     Am
  I'm putting your patience to the test
Dm                                 Am        G
  I'm putting yout body on the line  for less
Dm                                  Am
  Didn't you know there was a choice
Dm                               Am   G    Gm
  It's never yours but someone else's voice

[Verse 2]
Dm                        Am
  Seling your body to the streets
Dm                                     Am         G
  Selling your girlfriends to the night  for cheap
Dm                             Am
  Wearing a jacket made of meat
Dm                              Am      G
  Ah sealing a letter made with horse's feet
               Gm
And now you've heard that

[Chorus]
Dm                G
Waves turn to grey
Dm               G
life in the shade
  Dm           G
A violent crime
    Dm            G
and that's the USA
Dm                    G
Platinum's on the rise
Dm                  G
playboys in disguise
Dm                    G
I'm just tryin to find
  Dm                  G
a mountain I can climb

  I'm putting yout body on the line  for less
Dm                                     Am
  Ah Didn't you know there was a choice
Dm                             Am
It's never yours but someone else's voice
G                  Gm
And now you've see that

[Chorus]
        Dm
Blondes turn to grey
G    Dm

G     Dm
Porn's  on the rise

G   Dm
I'm just trying to find
G    Dm               G
a mountain I can climb

G   Dm
Gossip is a truth
G     Dm                    G
and money pays for the lies we trust
          Dm
Your love is a surprise
G               Dm
homeless saints are in disguise
G   Dm
I'm just trying to find
G            Dm           G
a nice place for you and I
