The American Dream

[Verso 1]
 
C           Am 
Your tinder profile said 
    F          G 
Get along with Aries 
   C                      Am 
So why would you meet the cancer that I am 
     F               G 
At a jazz bar in Los Feliz 

C           Am 
Compatible as hell 
        F                      G 
We shot Glocks in the heart of Kentucky 
        C           Am 
We were thirsty for love 
                  F             G 
And held hands in New York City 
 


[Refrão]
 
     C          Am 
Were you just a concept 
          Dm     G 
Some good company 
C                 Am 
Were you the lead actress 
      Dm         G 
Of my teen movie 

C                     Am 
Were you a part of my future 
     Dm              G 
That I couldn't see 
C                         Am 
Or just a cute american girl 
       Dm          G 
To show off with

C                  Am 
Then you flew back to LA 
      F               G 
And I flew back to my blues 
  C                           Am 
I called you and said I'm not ready 
   F            G 
To sit back and choose 

        C 
Between you and my ex wife 
      Am 
A new moon, my ex life 
F                          G 
Her curly hair versus your pale blue eyes 
  C                     Am 
I chose my past over my future 
       F                  G 
And my future left me to die

C               Am 
Were you just a pretty face 
  Dm             G 
A hunting trophy 
     C              Am 
Were you my wildest wet dream 
  Dm           G 
A sepia memory 

C               Am 
Were you just a rebound 
      Dm               G 
A get over her routine 
          C             Am 
Or just a cute American girl 
   Dm        G 
To show off with

C                     Am 
Then your hotness was craving 
     F        G 
Some european breeze 
       C                 Am 
Do you know how stoked I was 
      F                     G 
That you were flying overseas 

   C                 Am 
We shot some porn in Paris 
       F                      G 
And we rode this romance down south 
       C                          Am 
I went down on you at my parent's house 
          F                     G 
Before we all drove back to our lives

   C           Am 
If I hurt your feelings 
         Dm       G 
Girl I'm so sorry 
   C         Am 
If I was deceitful 
  Dm               G 
I didn't mean to be 

   C                  Am 
Of course I wanted my ex wife 
   Dm            G 
To see my stories 
                       C             Am 
But you weren't just a cute american girl to show off with 

Dm 
You were more than that, babe 
G                    C      Am Dm G 
You were my american dream
