G#m A
Lately I've felt so pathetic that it burns
G#m A
I can't sweat it cause I know I'm gonna work this out
G#m A
Baby just sit back and forget about the world
G#m A
And how they always doubt that we can make it worth our while
G#m
I hear all the words you never say
A
And you can always walk away
G#m A B
'Cause I can see it in your vacant smile
E B
We got caught up in American
C#m A B
Holding onto hope there and back again
E A
Taking back what's lost
C#m B E
Just to find it all buried in American dreams
G#m A
Oh dream dream dream
G#m A
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day
G#m A
We can run away, us together, find a home
Better weather, or
G#m A B
We can just stay here for a while
E B
We got caught up in American
C#m A B
Holding onto hope there and back again
E B
Taking back what's lost
C#m B A
Just to find it all buried underneath this weight
C#m B G#m
I’m starting to believe this is what you hate
C#m B E
And nothing's gonna work out the way it seems
A B A
But you’ll always be my American dream, dream, dream
G#m A B
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day
E B
We got caught up in American
C#m A
Holding onto hope there and back again
E B
Taking back what's lost
C#m B E
Just to find it all buried in American dreams
E B
We got caught up in American
A B E
And American dreams
A
Taking back what's lost
C#m B E
Just to find it all buried in American dreams
