[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
D Dmaj7 G
She's up before the sun, on the run, another dollar, another day, another cup of coffee
D G
Thank you, Lord, for giving me one more
D Dmaj7 G
She still leans on her dreams but it seems, sometimes she's the only one who still believes
Bm A G
That life is hard, so she takes it on with an American Heart
[Chorus]
D G
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody
D G
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky
D F# Bm A G
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard
D D/F# G D D/F# G
And you can't break an American heart
[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7 G
From the small town Friday night lights to the Broadway neon burning up bright
D G
We're all the same and it's in our veins
D Dmaj7 G
A spirit that you can't keep down, a fire inside that'll never burn out
Bm A G
If you are the owner of an American heart
[Chorus]
E A
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody
E A
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky
E G# C#m B A
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard
C#m B/D# E A C#m B/D# E A
And you can't break an American heart
C#m B/D# E A
An American heart
[Chorus]
E A
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody
E A
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky
E G# C#m B A
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard
C#m B/D# E A E E/G# A
And you can't break, you can't break an American heart
E E/G# A E E/G# A E
An American heart, an American heart
God bless America, land of the free, God bless America
