[Intro] C G C [Verse] C Well, I was madly in love with you F Before we ever met C I saw all your movies F I smoked your cigarettes G I drove down your highway F To the mountain top G I spent all my money F Putting quarters in your old jukebox [Chorus] Em It's ringing hollow Am It's ringing deep F It's ringing loud Em And there's always a scoundrel Am F Trying to whip up the crowd C F What do you think about that? C F The clocks never gonna turn back Em Am F Lady Liberty don't look so good G When she's wearing a frown [Verse] C And I wandered the cities F And I hit all the bars C I drove through the suburbs F And I lounged in the malls G Let the dreamers get the dream they want F My favorite joke G So pass around the fenty F Pass around the coke [Chorus] Em It's ringing hollow Am It's ringing deep F It's ringing loud Em And there's always a king Am F Trying to pick up the crown C F But what do you think about that? C F They took away the welcome mat Em Am F Lady Liberty don't look so good G When there's a tear in her gown [Instrumental] Am Em Am F G [Verse] C And I drove through the desert F With the dust in my face C And I lived outside of Dallas F Rundown shack of a place G I was handcuffed and arrested F It don't make no sense G Went up to the White House F Shook hands with the president [Chorus] Em Well, it's ringing hollow Am It's ringing deep F It's ringing loud Em When voices are stifled Am F I wanna scream out loud C F Liberty's not looking too well C F She's got another crack in her bell Em Am F Lady Liberty don't look so good G When she's wearing a scowl C F What do you think about that? C F C F What do you think about that? C F There's no turning back C F Buy me a brand new hat [Outro] C F C F C F C
