[Em]I'm Miss Liberty
Give me your junkies
[C]your irresponsible [Am]drummers
[Em]Iâ??ve swept my halls clean of clean
Your kitchen raiders your [C]wingtip dayrunners[Am]
[C]Go plant your [B7]flags and make your
[Em]Promise to my [Am]promised land[C]
And weâ??ll mak[B7]e love to the new fr[Em]ontier
In the hot beach [Am]sands
[C] Youâ??ll hold m[B7]e like a drownin[Em]g man[Am]
[C]And come at me too [B7]human and then
Drag me down again and leave me
[Am]Broken like a spine
Split open like a melon thatâ??[Em]s been
Dropped from a high high place
[Am]Broken like a spine
Split open like a melon thatâ?[Em]?s been dropped
[Em]I like this country sheâ??s like a whore
Who loves her junkies
Who [C]loves all her sad out[Am]laws
[Em]Lifts up her skirt to tease and flirt
With the wretched who have [C]washed up at her shor[Am]es
[C]When we die I [B7]hope someoneâ??s god
[Em]Takes us in like [Am]immigrants
[C]And weâ??ll mak[B7]e love in the leftove[Em]r light
Of heavenâ??[Am]s tenements
[C] Youâ??ll hold me[B7] like a drownin[Em]g man[Am]
[C]And come at me too [B7]human and then
Drag me down again and leave me
[Am]Broken like a spine
Split open like a melon thatâ??[Em]s been
Dropped from a high high place
[Am]Broken like a spine
Split open like a melon thatâ??s bee[C]n dropped
Yes, [B7]Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, [Em]Yes
[Am] [C] [B7] [Em]
