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