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