INTRO (intro riff x 2)

VERSE 1:
I ain't got a girl 'cuz I ain't got a car (Riff A)
I ain't got a car 'cuz I ain't got a job (Riff A)
I ain't got a job 'cuz I ain't got a car (Riff A)
So I'm looking for a girl with a job and a car (Riff B)

(play D chord and let ring)
Ah, don't you know where you are...

CHORUS: (same riff as the intro)
Lost in America, Lost in America, Lost in America, Lost

VERSE 2: (played same as the first)
I got a mom but I ain't got a dad
My dad's got a wife but she ain't my mom
Mom's looking for a man to be my dad
But I want my mom and dad to be my real mom and dad...
        Is that so bad?

D
Oh, I think I've been had...

        and a house... with cable
