Usa by Jeff Rosenstock Guitar Chords
[Verse 1]
Bb
Dumbfounded, downtrodden and dejected
Em
Crestfallen, grief-stricken and exhausted
F
Trapped in my room while the house was burning
Gm C
To the motherfucking ground
Bb
I saw the sign but it was misleading
Em
I fought the law, but the law was cheating
F
Screaming for help, but somebody keeps on
Gm C
Telling me to settle down
[Chorus]
Eb F Eb F Bb
Please be honest, tell me was it you?
[Verse 2]
Bb
Clerk at the midwestern service station
Em
Striped uniform, giggling at catch phrases
F D
Look in her eyes we’re up to something
Gm C
Oh, it doesn’t matter now
Bb
Man in a crossover with his family
Em
Sketched in decals on the window smiling
F D
Driving parallel in the lane beside me
Gm C
Oh, it doesn’t matter now
[Chorus]
Eb F Eb F Bb
But please be honest, tell me was it you?
Eb F Eb F C
I won’t hate you, I just need to know
Eb F Eb F Bb
Please be honest, tell me was it you?
[Bridge]
Eb
At first he thought it was the undertow
C
But he was dragged to the bottom of the lake
Eb
By a couple of kids saying, “it’s a joke”
C
Though he didn’t know any of their names
Eb
As they held him down, the crowd got loud
C
And they cheered when they thought he had escaped
Eb
When the anchor needed something for the 10 o’clock
C
What could they say? Oh what else could they say?
F Bb
They said “Well, you promised us the stars, and now we’re tired and bored”
F Bb
“Well, you promised us the stars, and now we’re tired and bored”
F Bb
“Well, you promised us the stars, and now we’re tired and bored”
F
“Well, you promised us the stars”
Bb
And now we’re tired and bored and tired and bored
Eb
and tired and bored and tired and bored
Bb
and tired and bored and tired and bored
Eb
and tired and bored and tired and bored
Bb
and tired and bored and tired and bored
Eb
and tired and bored and tired and bored
Bb
and tired and bored and tired and bored
Eb
and tired and bored and tired and bored
