             AMERICAN NIGHTS
               CHASE RICE

INTRO:
Bm A D G
Bm A Bm G
     (Hey)

INTRO:
Bm    A
  He was 18 and wasted
D  G
 Bedroom in the basement
 Bm       A
Parents` house, Tucson, Arizona
 Bm          G
What do expect from a high school diploma?

Bm     A           D
 Working hours in the shoe store
     G           Bm
Selling dimes out the back door
    A
And he puts on his prom crown
 Bm            G         D
Says to his Mama, `I`m the king of this town`


PRE-CHORUS:
      A
Won`t you take me out?
  D         G        D
I hear the midnight streets a-calling
     A
You can hold me down
   Bm       G
But like a bird I`m just free falling


CHORUS:
G         D    A
 Here`s to these American nights
G         Bm     A
 We`re having the time of our lives
 G                D
Living, dreaming, feeling, never sleeping
     A        G
Till we see the morning light
     Bm    A   Bm A  D G Bm A Bm G
On these American nights (Hey)          (Hey)


VERSE:
 Bm           A
Neighborhood kid, just back from the desert
D       G       Bm
Tattoo and a discharge letter
 A
VA in the Saint John
Bm             G           Bm
Six times a week he still sleeps with his boots on

       A         D
She skipped track up to Brooklyn
    G           Bm
With a dream and some tanned skin
   A
Graveyard at The Rhino
 Bm             G         D
This is the place where the stars shine, y`know?


PRE-CHORUS:
      A
Won`t you take me out?
  D         G        D
I hear the midnight streets a-calling
     A
You can hold me down
   Bm       G
But like a bird I`m just free falling


CHORUS:
G         D    A
 Here`s to these American nights
G         Bm     A
 We`re having the time of our lives
 G                D
Living, dreaming, feeling, never sleeping
     A        G
Till we see the morning light
     Bm    A  G G G D
On these American nights


POST-CHORUS:
Bm     A    D G
 (These American niiights)
Bm     A    Bm G
 (These American niiights)


VERSE:
Bm      A        D
 The sky`s black in November
       G
And nothing good lasts forever
Bm          A
12-gauge heart in a machine-gun town
 Bm           G
Whole life running, ya can`t stop now


CHORUS:
G         D    A
 Here`s to these American nights
G         Bm     A
 We`re having the time of our lives
 G             D
Living on a feeling, got a feeling
      A     G
That it`s gonna be alright
     Bm    A
On these American nights


POST-CHORUS:
Bm     A    D G
 (These American niiights)
Bm     A    Bm G
 (These American niiights)
