American Dream
Key: AEnglish
Intro
A Am9 A A Am9 A
AI used to see you on every T.V., your smiling face looked back at me.
DI used to see you on every T.V., your Asmiling face looked back at me.
EThen they caught you with the girl next door, People's money piled on the floor,
BmAccusations that you try to deny, DRevelations and rumors begin to fly.
A Am9 A ...
ANow you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above.
DNow you think about reaching out, maybe Aget some help from above.
EReporters crowd around your house going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
BmSpeculating what they may find out, Dit don't matter now, you're all washed Aup.
EYou wake up in the Amiddle Eof the night, your sheets Aare Ewet and your face is white.
EYou tried to make a good Athing Elast. How could something so B(sus2)good, go bad, so fast?
Chorus
AAmerican dream, American dream Bm
AAmerican dream, American dream. Bm D
ADon't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and strong.
DDon't know when things went wrong, might have Abeen when you were young and strong.
EReporters crowd around your house, going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
BmSpeculating what they may Dfind out, it don't matter now, you're all washed up.
ADon't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and strong.
American dream, American Ddream. Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you Awere young and strong. American dream, American dream.
