[Intro]

                   E      Bsus4
You uppity little ghost
          C#m7 Bsus4        Asus2
Don't you even know you're dead
E             Bsus4
We police the past
     C#m7     Bsus4   Asus2
Your future's in your head
       E               Bsus4
We've hollowed out our bibles
   C#m7     Bsus4  Asus2
to hide our golden guns
       E              Bsus4
We've raised a silver gallows
        C#m7    Bsus4    Asus2
and the jewelry of your sons
   E                Bsus4
A tattered flag is crimson
       C#m7       Bsus4    Asus2
with a blood that can't be wrong
              F#m               Bsus4
Take one last drag of night air
           C#m7     Bsus4  Asus2
Cinch that blackness in a lung
              F#m        Bsus4
As we hoist another nightmare

[Chorus]

      E
Look away
      Bsus4
Look away
      Asus2             E
Move along, nothing to see here
       E       Bsus4
Look away, hey you there
        Asus2            E
Are you even supposed to be here
                 F#m
We don't need a reason
                              Bsus4
Keep your dreams where we can see them
F#m                  Bsus4
Like that, aww baby, right there
                   E            Asus2   Bsus4
It's just another nightmare in America
                   E            Asus2   Bsus4
It's just another nightmare in America

[Verse]

E            Bsus4
Ain't no use praying
           C#m7  Bsus4   Asus2
There's no soul there to save
E                    Bsus4
Boy you're just the difference
         C#m7  Bsus4
'tween a hole
       Asus2
And a grave
            E                  Bsus4
And that's exactly how they'll mark it
     C#m7 Bsus4  Asus2
Even if a camera sees us
Asus2                             Bsus4
I'll fill out some paperwork and sleep like baby Jesus

[Chorus]

      E
Look away
      Bsus4
Look away
      Asus2             E
Move along, nothing to see here
       E       Bsus4
Look away, hey you there
        Asus2            E
Are you even supposed to be here
                 F#m
We don't need a reason
                              Bsus4
Keep your dreams where we can see them
     F#m                  Bsus4
Just like that, aww baby, right there
                   E            Asus2   Bsus4
It's just another nightmare in America
                   E            Asus2   Bsus4
It's just another nightmare in America

[Solo]

E Asus2 Bsus4 (x4)

[Verse]

      E                 Bsus4
That jury don't look so sad to me
        C#m7    Bsus4    Asus2
That conviction makes it right
E                     Bsus4
What you're calling a tragedy
       C#m7  Bsus4  Asus2
I call just another night
        E          Bsus4
We all pray to firepower
           C#m7     Bsus4  Asus2
And really what did you expect
           E            Bsus4
If you'll allow me to interpret
    C#m7  Bsus4  Asus2
The power to protect
             Asus2            Bsus4
I'd say it's six in the chest, two in the neck

[Chorus]

          E
You look away
      Bsus4
Look away
      Asus2             E
Move along, nothing to see here
      E        Bsus4
Look away, hey you there
        Asus2            E
Are you even supposed to be here
                 F#m
We don't need a reason
               Bsus4
These bullets scream for freedom
     F#m                  Bsus4
Just like that, aww baby, right there
                  E             Asus2
It's just another nightmare in America
Bsus4
(Oh say, can you see)
                  E             Asus2
It's just another nightmare in America
Bsus4
(Oh say, can you see)
                  E             Asus2
It's just another nightmare in America
Bsus4
(Oh say, can you see)
                  E             Asus2
It's just another nightmare in America
Bsus4
(Oh say, you can't see)
