Intro:

C F
    Rise and shine
G          Am      G
I'm waking up to a stranger's
         F G Am G
American dream
 
 
Verse 1:
    F                     G
The stairway to heaven is oh so cheap
Am                              G     F G Am
Fool’s gold and the myth of meritocracy
    F                     G
The closest to death that I've ever been
         Am
Was in a room full of people
    G
who begged to hear me sing, like
F G Am G Am F G F
mm-    mm-    mm
Pre-Chorus:
Am                        F
Lately, I've been feeling guilty
               G
Dancing like a star
                       F
living at the Premiere Inn, where
  Am                     F
A day drink turns into a daydream
            G                   F
I am at the movies, I am on the big screen
 
 
Chorus:
   Am
My friends are on the radio,
      F
and I put my grief in stereo
  G                            F
I play it loud, I play it slow
Am
Tell my mother not to call
    F
I'm working myself to thе bone
   G
If that's the dream, it's what I want
 
 
Post-Chorus:
F
  Rise and shine
G          Am      G
I'm waking up to a stranger's
         F G Am G
American dream
 
 
Verse 2:
F                       G
I wake at 5 AM, call it discipline
            Am
I'm like an early bird
                 C      Dm
that's forgotten how to sing
F                       G
Talk myself down at the kitchen sink
  Am                          C        Dm
I get what I want, and then I just get sick
F
All my lovers wish
             G
that I could just sleep in
            Am
But I can't stand to be touched,
      C           Dm
can't stand to be kissed
       F
I just think about myself
      G
and I don't want kids
  Am
I write shit in these songs
  C                Dm
I know that I'll regret
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
Am                        F
Lately, I've been feeling filthy
               G
Painted starry nights
                F
in artex on the ceiling
        Am                     F
This is sacred, trying to make ends meet
               G
This is what I wanted,
this is what I'm gettin'
 
 
Chorus:
   Am
My friends are on the radio,
      F
and I put my grief in stereo
  G                             F
I play it loud, and play it slow
      Am
I get what I want, then I thank God
    F
The truth is that we never talk
    G
Get what I want, and it's not enough
    F
Get what I need, then I fuck it up
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
Am                     F
Lately, I want to feel guilty
               G
Dancing like a star
                       F
living at the Premiere Inn
          Am                      F
I've been feeling, like a damn machine
                 G
But I am picture perfect,
               F
see me on your big screen
 
 
Chorus:
   Am
My friends are on the radio,
      F
and I put my grief in stereo
  G                             F
I play it loud, and play it slow
      Am
I get what I want, and I thank God
    F
The truth is that we never talk
    G
Get what I want, and it's not enough
    F
Get what I need, then I fuck it up
