SWITCHFOOT - AMERICAN DREAM
[INTRO]
E E E E (x1)
G D A (x2)
E E E E (x1)
[VERSE 1]
E
When success is equated with excess
G D A
The ambition for excess wrecks us
E
As the top of the mind becomes the bottom line
E
When success is equated with excess
[VERSE 2]
E
If your time ain't been nothing for money
G D A
I start to feel really bad for you, honey
E
Maybe honey, put your money where your mouth's been running
E
If your time ain't been nothing but money
[PRECHORUS]
E F#m A
I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom
[CHORUS]
E A
This ain't my American dream
E A
I want to live and die for bigger things
F#m D
I'm tired of fighting for just me
E G D A G D A
This ain't my American dream
[VERSE 3]
E
When success is equated with excess
G D A
When we're fighting for the Beamer, the Lexus
E
As the heart and soul breath in the company goals
E
Where success is equated with excess
[PRECHORUS]
E F#m A
I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom
[CHORUS]
E A
This ain't my American dream
E A
I want to live and die for bigger things
F#m D
I'm tired of fighting for just me
E
This ain't my American dream
[BRIDGE]
G D A
'Cause baby's always talkin' 'bout a ring
G D A
And talk has always been the cheapest thing
G E
Is it true would you do what I want you to
G D A
If I show up with the right amount of bling?
n.c
Like a puppet on a monetary string
n.c
Maybe we've been caught singing
E A G
Red, white, blue, and green
G
But that ain't my America,
G
That ain't my American dream
[CHORUS]
E A
This ain't my American dream
E A
I want to live and die for bigger things
F#m D
I'm tired of fighting for just me
E
This ain't my American dream
E E E E
