"American Dream"
capo 3
C        Am   G
We broke down trying to leave town
Am              C       F
Flying down the road to change
        F       C
We were born to run,
G
Cali here we come
Am                  C F     F
Escape from nowhere USA
               C                     G
Say goodbye to white picket fences
                                     C
Say hello to palm trees and Benzes
                   Am                  F
They say you gotta fall to have it all
         F
Yeah
              C                    G
We don't want two kids and a wife
                                            Am
I don't want a job, I just want a life
                   C             F
Sometimes the underdogs rise

and the mighty fall
              F
(chorus)
               C           G                               Am
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
           C       F                        F
?Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago
             C            G                         Am
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
           C          F
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.
