Yeah I'm stealing cigarettes Selling them off to friends for rent

Time was a war time economy Was a silver lining to tragedy
     BB                      G+G
But even those with homes are now those alone In the land of the free

A augmentedA            G+G
I asked for nothing And I got it in spades
A augmentedA             G+G
Worked for a living and I earned a cage
     A augmentedA           G+G (strum once)
Now they say I look old for my age

D MajorD     G+G   A augmentedA
This American me
       D MajorD     G+G   A augmentedA
This American me
