American Nights Tab by Plain White T's

American Nights tab by Plain White T's

Guitar Tab

Tuning: Drop D

Here's this song of the new Album "American Nights".
The tabs are played as accurate as possible out of how Tom plays it.
Any correction please let me know.

Note: This song is played with a guitar tunned Drop D, but it can be played at
Standard-E tunning and still sounds good. It would have a little changes though, but not that much.

We're gonna light up these streets baby,
Asus2                    G5
Shake the dust off your dreams baby,
Asus2                     G5
We're gonna lose a little sleep baby

                    Bm
Under the stars and shops
                           D
We live in doubt with our friends
                     Bm
There's nothing we can't do,
                   D
As soon as our sun sets
                   Bm
I'm gonna find the girl,
                           D
I'm gonna try and make her laugh
                             Bm
And once she kiss me without look
                   Asus2
I'm gonna take her hand

                        G5
'Cause everything about her reminds me
Asus2                  G5
Of all the broken romance behind me
Asus2                    G5
I'm giving lover another chance to find me

Days like these don't come up any higher
We've got main street light up like a fire

E5                  F#5
Nothing compares to breathe in the air
     G5                 A5
When I'm back in my hometown
E5                   F#5
Someday my kids will run like I did
   G5                        A5
On these streets and old playgrounds!

I wanna drive all night

                       Asus2
I shut the whole world out
                      G5
So come and ride with me baby
Asus2                    G5
I'm saving you the front seat baby
Asus2               G5
Feeling nothing but free baby

I hope you're able to understand it ^^'
Also hope you enjoy it.
Once again, is as accurate as possible the way Tom plays it.
I learned it out of videos where Tom's playing.
You could replace the Asus2 Chords with A and still sounds good.
