Intro: D# 



[Verso 1]
 
          G#m                 F# 
 Been an emotional sink with a clogged drain 
E                  D# 
 Fill me up until I go insane 
        G#m        F# 
 Holding space for everyone 
             E                  D# 
 Who wouldnt do the same for me 

   G#m               F# 
 Expect not to expect much, a 
E               D#         G#m  F#  E  D# 
 Self-fulfilling prophecy

N.C. 
What are you dreaming? 
What are you sleepwalking to? 
 


[Refrão]
 
          G#m 
I see you climbing those steps 
        F# 
To the American dream 
E                    D#               G#m    F# 
Whats more American than to be fast asleep? 
      E    D# 
Fast asleep 

G#m               F# 
Navel-gazing, its frustrating 
E                      D# 
Aint nobody looking up 
               G#m 
Said you aint got the time 
          F# 
But youre in mine 
      E                        D# 
Gotta fill before you pour your cup

[Verso 2]
 
G#m           F# 
 You were told when you woke up 
                E 
 Youd be higher up 
                D# 
 But this upward mobility is a moving target 
G#m         F#                         E  D# 
 Growth only makes the steps up steeper 

G#m                    F# 
 The top of the pyramid is getting out of sight 
E                           D# 
 And these steps up, theyve become a slide 
        G#m                      F# 
 We fall to the floor only to see 
                             E               D# 
 We helped build up the walls that confine us

[Verso 3]
 
G#m                  F# 
 You were told if you played by the rules youd win 
E                               D# 
 But they keep changing the game 
G#m                       F#              E  D# 
 They dont want to see us Citizens United 

G#m                      F# 
 They pit us against each other to distract us 
                E 
 Divide the year into quarters 
             D# 
 Were making pennies on their dollars, wake up! 
G#m                   F#                       E                       D# 
 Have you ever stopped to think if the American Dream matches your own?
