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