[Intro]
F G C Am (x2)
[Verse 1]
F G
Wake up with somebody near you
C Am
And at someone else's place
F G
You took acid and looked in the mirror
C Am
Watched the beard crawl around on your face
F G
Oh, the revolution was here
C Am
That would set you free from those bourgeoisie
F G
In the morning everything's clearer
C Am
When the sunlight exposes your age
[Chorus]
F G
But that's okay
C Am
And that's okay
[Verse 2]
F G
Grab your clothes and head to the doorway
C Am
If you dance out, no one complains
F G
Find the place where you can be boring
C Am
Where you won't need to explain
F G
That you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead
C Am
Or at least instead of sleeping here you prefer your own bed, come on
F G
You just suck at self-preservation
C Am
Versus someone else's pain
[Chorus]
F G
So you feel drained
C Am F G
And insane
C Am F G C Am
And insane
[Verse 3]
F G
He was leather and you were screaming
C Am
Swinging chains against the stage
F G
And you couldn't know he was leaving
C Am
But now more will go with age, you know
F G
So get up and stop your complaining
C Am
You know that you're the only one who's been destroying all the fun
F G
Look what happened when you were dreaming
C Am
Then punch yourself in the face
F G
So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling
C Am
That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting
F G
So you never even ask for names
C Am
You just look right through them as if you already came
F G
It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking
C Am
'Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh
F G
And you kind of remember the meaning
C Am
But there's no going back against this California feeling
[Chorus]
F G
Dream
C Am
American dream
F G
American dream
C Am
American dream
