American Spirit chords by Keni Titus

🎸 Verse 1:
       C#m      F           Bm
I'll wave the white flag if tomorrow you'll take me
     Gm        C#m
Out where the bluebirds sing
    F         Bm
Tell me I'm all you wanted
    Gm         C#m
But it gets hard to breathe
      F         B#m
When I feel you looking my way
    Gm       C#m
I don't know how to land
   F          Bm
If I Go to Heaven with you
      Gm       C#m
You'll have to hold my hand

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
   C#m     F  Bm Gm
And I take it all back, mm-mm
   C#m     F  Gm    Bm
And I take it all back, ooh-ooh

🎸 Chorus:
          C#m7            F
I'm not a patriot, but I'd fight a war for you
F                         Bm
As long as you promise the uniform's not navy blue
              C#m7          F
I braid my hair before bed, kind of believe in Jesus

And you smoke too many American Spirits

🎸 Verse 2:
        C#m    F        Bm
I held my knees close in a sweaty surrender
      Gm
Watching a morning dove
C#m    F
Felt like two birds of a feather
Bm      Gm     C#m7
Fighting the urge to run
    F
He said he was gonna protect me
Bm      Gm
Thought I was safe and sound
C#m    F           Bm
Red cheeks in the face of a sinner
     Gm
Blood on the hunting ground

And I take it all back, ooh-ooh
