                  F#m                      D
Here there is no future, here there is no time
                    Bm                              F#m
Here you're moving backwards with your fingers on rewind
                       F#m                             D
A place where there is money, a place where there is greed
                  Bm                  F#m
To bring us all together as a happy family
                 F#m                     D
Maybe that's the answer, maybe we're machines
              Bm                                 F#m
Maybe we were meant to live out other people’s dreams

                       E        Bm               F#m
But I don't think that I am ready to live out my own life
                      E             Bm
And I don't think I know the balance
                          F#m
Between what is wrong and right

Chorus:
     F#m     D        Bm        F#m
And here we are, this ordinary life
      F#m        D       Bm                  F#m
We've come this far, but nothing turned out right
    F#m           D        Bm                 F#m
We stand, and we march, we all walk the same line
                     F#m   D
We are the army of a nation, .
              Bm     F#m
the army of a nation,
            F#m     D
Americana's vacation,
                      Bm   F#m
we are the army of a nation

How can you see the difference when everyone's the same?
And everything you know is just the price you choose to pay
And if you wanna go there, I hope you wanna stay
'Cause once they let you in you find that there is no escape
I think I see the difference; that everyone's the same
The army of a nation, only with another name

But I don't think that I'm ready to live out my own life
But I don't think I know the balance
Between what is wrong and right

Chorus

               F#m                 D                   Bm
This ordinary life, this ordinary life, this ordinary life
               F#m
This ordinary life
               F#m                 D                   Bm
This ordinary life, this ordinary life, this ordinary life

Chorus:
And here we are, this ordinary life
We've come this far, but nothing turned out right
We stand, and we march, we all walk the same line
We are the army of a nation
