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