C                               G     Em C 
    Raindrops running down my window 
C                      G   Em C 
    Old man talking on TV 
C                                G     Em 
    Says were putting kids in cages 
C            C 
Some how we call that 
               D   Em D 
The American dream 
C                               G     Em D 
    Raindrops running down my window 
C                               G     Em D 
    Silent anger turning into shouts 
C                                 G     Em D 
    Lifelong friends becoming strangers 
          C 
God only knows if 
                   D     Em D7 
We can turn this around

C                           G     Em D 
   Raindrops tapping on my window 
C                                   G     Em D 
   Like soldiers marching in our streets 
C                                G      Em D 
   Neighbors hiding in their basements 
C 
Somehow we call that

The American dream

C                             G 
   Raindrops running down my window 
C                              G 
   Like tears of anguish in a stream 
C                           G       Em D 
   Is this all that we can hope for 
        D 
I only wish that

This was only a dream
