American Dream
MKTO
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

Say goodbye to white picket fences

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

(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
(Chorus X1)
