"American Dream"
capo 3
C majorC    A minorAm  G+G
We broke down trying to leave town
A minorAm       C majorC    FF
Flying down the road to change
    FF    C majorC
We were born to run,
G+G
Cali here we come
A minorAm         C majorC FF   FF
Escape from nowhere USA
        C majorC           G+G
Say goodbye to white picket fences
                   C majorC
Say hello to palm trees and Benzes
          A minorAm         FF
They say you gotta fall to have it all
     FF
Yeah
       C majorC          G+G
We don?t want two kids and a wife
                      A minorAm
I don?t want a job, I just want a life
          C majorC       FF
Sometimes the underdogs rise

and the mighty fall
       FF
(chorus)
        C majorC      G+G                A minorAm
This ain?t the same summer song that you used to know
      C majorC    FF            FF
?Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago
       C majorC      G+G             A minorAm
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
      C majorC     FF
So tell me whatever happened to the American Dream

(Repeat Verse 1)
I know a girl I met her last night
She was fresh off the plane
She whispered in my ear,
?Baby, come here. I?ll do anything to make a name.?

Honey, take my hand follow me
?cause I don?t wanna hurt you but he does
I just wanna give you some real advice

(Listen baby, mmm)

Never take candy from a stranger
And keep your eyes open for danger
?Cause this right here is the twisted paradise
(Repeat Chorus)
This ain?t the same summer song that you used to know
?Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
So tell me whatever happened to the American Dream

This ain?t the same summer song that you used to know
So baby, let's live and die before we're getting old
You know that nothing is the way it used to be
So tell me whatever happened to the American Dream

Na na na...

We were born to run,
Cali here we come
Gettin' out of here, baby
Let's get out of here

This ain?t the same summer song that you used to know
?Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
So tell me whatever happened to the American Dream

This ain?t the same summer song that you used to know
So baby, let?s live and die before we?re getting old
You know that nothing is the way it used to be
So tell me whatever happened to the American Dream

Na na na.
