Whitney Houstons National Anthem

G C9 C G C G We danced across your mother’s kitchenette C G While they swore in your father’s president C G Your brother used to come around the house Em DMaj7 C He knows better than to pull that bullcrap now G I liked it when your hair was long Em And the last thing we agreed on G C G Was Whitney Houston’s national anthem G C9 G You pull the rip cord and I’ll crash the plane G Em You pull closer and I’ll pull away C9 Meaning keeps changing DMaj7 The words are the same C G We’re still pretending we’re not who we are D Em America’s sweetheart we tore her apart C DMaj7 Everything magic disappears anyway G C G America is a country club at best C G Safe harbor for the famous and the blessed G C9 G Captain Kirk finally made it up to space Em DMaj7 C Like there’s no one down here left for him to save G Oh the served and unimpressed D Em Let’s Pack it up and leave this mess G C G Singing Whitney Houston’s national anthem G C G So you pull the rip cord and I’ll crash the plane D Em You move closer I’ll pull away C DMaj7 The meaning keeps changing but the words are the same C G We still prentending were’e not who we are D Em America’s sweetheart tore her apart C DMaj7 Everything magic disappears anyway G C9 Oh say can you see that I’m dying here G C9 Oh say can you see that I’m trying dear G C9 G We danced across your mother’s kitchenette C9 G While they swore in your father’s president C G You used to come alive when I’d walked in the room Em DMaj7 C Now we stumble over all our dreams come true G As the evening sky drifts into dust Em Still everything’s about us G C G Except for Whitney Houston’s national anthem C9 G Whitney Houston’s national anthem G
