Lately I've felt so pathetic that it burns
Em F
I can't sweat it cause I know I'm gonna work this out
Em F
Baby just sit back and forget about the world
Em F
And how they always doubt that we can make it worth our while
Em
I hear all the words you never say
F
And you can always walk away
Em F G
'Cause I can see it in your vacant smile
C G
We got caught up in American
Am F G
Holding onto hope there and back again
C F
Taking back what's lost
Am G C
Just to find it all buried in American dreams
Em F
Oh dream dream dream
Em F
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day
Em F
We can run away, us together, find a home
Better weather, or
Em F G
We can just stay here for a while
C G
We got caught up in American
Am F G
Holding onto hope there and back again
C G
Taking back what's lost
Am G F
Just to find it all buried underneath this weight
Am G Em
I’m starting to believe this is what you hate
Am 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
Em F G
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day
C G
We got caught up in American
Am F
Holding onto hope there and back again
C G
Taking back what's lost
Am 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
Am G C
Just to find it all buried in American dreams
