F#m                           G 
Lately I've felt so pathetic that it burns 
                          F#m                       G 
I can't sweat it cause I know I'm gonna work this out 
              F#m                         G 
Baby just sit back and forget about the world 
                              F#m                        G 
And how they always doubt that we can make it worth our while 
                F#m 
I hear all the words you never say    
             G 
And you can always walk away 
             F#m                     G         A 
'Cause I can see it in your vacant smile 

D             A 
We got caught up in American 
Bm            G              A 
Holding onto hope there and back again 
D                    G 
Taking back what's lost 
                    Bm          A         D 
Just to find it all buried in American dreams 

    F#m          G 
Oh dream dream dream 
                      F#m                        G 
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day 
           F#m                        G 
We can run away, us together, find a home 

Better weather, or 
F#m                            G   A 
We can just stay here for a while 

D             A 
We got caught up in American 
Bm             G             A 
Holding onto hope there and back again 
D                   A 
Taking back what's lost 
                     Bm           A          G 
Just to find it all buried underneath this weight 
                   Bm            A          F#m 
I'm starting to believe this is what you hate 
                      Bm           A        D 
And nothing's gonna work out the way it seems 
                   G      A                      G 
But you?ll always be my American dream, dream, dream 
                      F#m                       G   A 
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day 

D              A 
We got caught up in American 
Bm             G 
Holding onto hope there and back again 
D                    A 
Taking back what's lost 
                      Bm        A        D 
Just to find it all buried in American dreams 

D              A 
We got caught up in American 
G     A         D 
And American dreams 
                    G 
Taking back what's lost 
                      Bm       A         D 
Just to find it all buried in American dreams
