Rent – What You Own chords

*Intro*

Asus2       Asus2/G


*Verse One*

A5Don't breathe too deep,
G5Don't think all day.
A5Dive into work,
G5Drive the other way.
C#5           D5That bit of hurt,
C#5           E5 (high)That pint of shame,
C#5                 D5       G  E5 (low)Goes away; just play the game.



*Chorus*

                   Asus2  You're living in America 
F#m7                      E     D     At the end of the millenium.
                   Asus2   F#m7You're living in America;
                      F              Leave your conscience at the tone.
G                          Asus2   F#m7And when you're living in America
                     E     D      C#5 D#5 E5At the end of the millenium.

*Verse Two*

           A5Well the filmmaker cannot see,
         G5And the songwriter cannot hear.
    A5Yet I see Mimi ev'rywhere.
        G5Angel's voice is in my ear.
C#5                  D5Just tighten those shoulders,
C#5                  E5 (high)Just clench your jaw 'til you frown.
C#5                  D5            G   E5 (low)Just don't let go or you may drown.


*Chorus Two*

                       F           GWhere it's like the Twilight Zone.
                            Asus2  F#m7And when you're living in America

*Mid-song transition*

   GSo I own not a notion.
   AI escape and ape content.
   GI don't own emotion,
   EI rent--
