[Verse 1]
C                                 
I am white and I've got everything
    Am
 I need.
F                              
No one clutches their purse when 
          G                    C
they're in a room alone with me
          C                
and I can drive through any 
                Am
neighborhood I please
      F            G              
at any hour and the police don't 
    C      C7
do a thing.

[Hook]
     F       G             Am
So if I see a penny on the ground,
F           G             Am
I leave it alone or fucking flip it.
F                   G     
I'm a straight white male in 
      C C/B Am
Am-er-i-ca.
        F       G       C
I've got all the luck I need.

C                                 
I'm a guy getting paid more than a
             Am
 girl with a degree
F                               G
and I can walk down the street 
                              C
after dark and no one wants to rape 
me.
          C                      
And I can get a girl pregnant and 
                Am
just as easily flee.
          F                       
Just like my straight, white male 
G          C   C7
dad did to me.

[Hook]
    F         G            Am
So if I see a penny on the ground,
F          G                Am
I leave it alone or fucking flip it.
      F              G     
I'm a straight white male in 
     C C/B Am
Am-er-i-ca.
         F       G       C   C7
I've got all the luck I need.

[Verse 3]
F                                 
I've got a pile of broken mirrors 
        C
and I'm walking under ladders
           G                       
and I'll spill a ton of salt 
     Am
because to me that doesn't matter.
F                               C
Cus my skin and my gender and my 
orientation
        G                          
are the best things to have when 
  Am
you live in this nation.
F                    Fm   C      C7
I recommend it highly.

[Chorus]
   F          G            Am
So if I see a penny on the ground,
 F          G                Am
I leave it alone or fucking flip it.
        F            G     
I'm a straight white male in 
     C C/B Am
Am-er-i-ca.
          F       G      C
I've got all the luck I need.
       F         G        Am
Shit's gonna work out for me.
       F             G     
I'm a straight white male in 
     C C/B Am
Am-er-i-ca.
         F       G      C
I've got all the luck I need.
