Tom: Am
C C
[Verse 1]
C Am
I am white and I've got everything I need.
F G C
No one clutches their purse when they're in a room alone with me
C Am
and I can drive through any neighborhood I please
F G C C7
at any hour and the police don't 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 C C/B Am
I'm a straight white male in Am-er-i-ca.
F G C
I've got all the luck I need.
[Verse 2]
C Am
I'm a guy getting paid more than a girl with a degree
F G C
and I can walk down the street after dark and no one wants to rape me.
C Am
And I can get a girl pregnant and just as easily flee.
F G C C7
Just like my straight, white male 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 C C/B Am
I'm a straight white male in Am-er-i-ca.
F G C C7
I've got all the luck I need.
[Verse 3]
F C
I've got a pile of broken mirrors and I'm walking under ladders
G Am
and I'll spill a ton of salt because to me that doesn't matter.
F C
Cus my skin and my gender and my orientation
G Am
are the best things to have when 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 C C/B Am
I'm a straight white male in 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 C C/B Am
I'm a straight white male in Am-er-i-ca.
F G C
I've got all the luck I need.
