[Verse 1]
D Em
Jenny found herself in the supermarket line
G D
With the crossword editor of the New York Times
Bm E7
She said, "How does it feel to be so well-read?
A
I can't even guess what you're reading"
D Em
He says, "I know I'm a big shot literary boss
G D
But I do not intend to die on that cross
Bm E7
I make what I earn and I won't take no less
A
I'm not writing birthday greetings."
C
And then Jenny's blood ran hot
G
She said, "I'm not one for desk jockeys
A-
But I'll give you a shot."
[Chorus]
D A
Love in the United States
D G
Empathy makes mе a modern lay
A Bm
American kids swing the Amеrican way
C A
What do you learn from your lover?
[Instrumental]
D Em D G A Bm C A
[Verse 2]
D Em
Tommy works all day sewin' baseball gloves
G D
Well he's up all night watching Punch Drunk Love
Bm E7
He writes fanfiction on the factory floor
A
Mostly concerning Fernando
D Em
And then one fine day on the production line
G D
Fernando says, "Hey Tommy, I'm runnin' out of time!
Bm E7
I'm 28 years old, at the edge of my prime
A
And I can't even play the piano."
C
And Tommy says, "Well, hell, Fern, neither can I
G A-
Do you wanna come over and watch a movie sometime?"
[Chorus]
D A
Love in the United States
D G
Empathy makes me a modern lay
A Bm
American kids swing the American way
C A
What do you learn from your lover?
[Bridge]
D A
Folks, we're nearing the end here
D
You've been a lovely audience
G
You just look like a, like a million bucks
A Bm
If all fifteen of you split that up
C A
You could, you could, uh, well
D A
Anyway, we've got one more stop on this
D G
Humble escapade through the Great American Bedroom
A Bm
Isaac?
C A
Lovely
[Verse 3]
D Em
Margaret starts with an absinthe mist
G D
Tops it off with a lemon twist
Bm E7
Slides a lowball glass down the bar
A
To a new face in a yellow raincoat
D Em
Wrings the rag out and wipes down the wood
G D
Starts to feel like she don't feel so good
Bm E7
Steals a glance at an old Polaroid
A
Tacked up by the Bushmills
D Em
Danny outside the Divine Lorraine
G D
Just standin' there in the pouring rain
Bm E7
One year from the day he died
A
Smiling like a child
D Em
She hears a crackle from the back of the room
G D
Slow fade-in on a Neil Young tune
Bm E7
Turns around at the end of the bar
A
Sees another smile
C
And Margaret says, "Hey, stranger, let me ask you a question
G
You don't look like a dancer
A
But would you make an exception?"
[Chorus]
D A
Love in the United States
D G
Empathy makes me a modern lay
A Bm
American kids swing the American way
C A
What do you learn from your lover?
D A
Love in the United States
D G
Make it while you're payin' off your FHA
A Bm
American kids swing the American way
C A
What do you learn from your lover?
C A
What do you learn from your lover?
C A
What do you learn from your lover?
