[Em]I'm Miss Liberty
Give me your junkies
[C]your irresponsible [Am]drummers
[Em]I?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 we?ll make [B7]love to the new fron[Em]tier
In the hot beach [Am]sands

[C] You?ll hold me [B7]like a drowning [Em]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 that?s [Em]been
Dropped from a high high place
[Am]Broken like a spine
Split open like a melon that?s[Em] been dropped

[Em]I like this country she?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 someone?s god
[Em]Takes us in like [Am]immigrants
[C]And we?ll make [B7]love in the leftover [Em]light
Of heaven?s [Am]tenements

[C] You?ll hold me l[B7]ike a drowning [Em]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 that?s [Em]been
Dropped from a high high place
[Am]Broken like a spine
Split open like a melon that?s been [C]dropped
Yes, [B7]Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, [Em]Yes

[Am] [C] [B7] [Em]
