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