Verse 1
 
Em                       B7 
How many people rise and say 
             C/G                              D7              Em 
My brains so awfully glad to be here for yet another mindless day 
Em                                        B7 
Now I've got all morning to obsessively accrue 
        C/G                                         D7          Em 
A small nation of meaningful objects they've gotta represent me too 
                      B7      C/G 
By this afternoon Ill live in debt 
                D7             Em 
And by tomorrow be replaced by children 
 
Verse 2
 
How many people rise and think 
Oh good the stranger's body's still here 
Our arrangement hasn't changed 
Now I've got a lifetime to consider all the ways 
I grow more disappointing to you as my beauty warps and fades 
I suspect you feel the same 
When I was young I dreamt of a passionate obligation to a roommate 
 
Pre-Chorus
 
   G        Gaug             G7         
Is this the part where I get all I ever wanted 
         C/G 
Who said that? 
             D7      Am   C#dim   C/G 
Can I get my money back? 
 
Chorus
 
                  G              D7 Em    
I'm just a little   bored in the USA 
          C/G    G              D7 Em      
Oh just a little   bored in the USA 
C/G 
Save me white Jesus 
G              D7 Em  C/G 
  Bored in the USA 
 
Bridge
 
B7                       C/G 
They gave me useless education 
                G                   D7 
And a sub-prime loan on a craftsman home 
                      C#dim 
Keep my prescriptions filled 
                    C/G                   C#dim   
And now I can't get off but I can kind of deal 
 
Chorus
 
              G              D7 Em     
Oh with being   bored in the USA 
          C/G    G              D7 Em     
Oh just a little   bored in the USA 
        C/G 
Save me president Jesus 
    G              D7 Em     
I'm   bored in the USA 
           C/G 
How did it happen 
G              D7 Em 
  Bored in the USA 
C/G   C#dim   C/G 
Ooooohhhhhhhhhhh
