[Verse 1]
Bb Gm
All this time I was thinkin' about technical reciperate

Like those old films
Blue waves

The white text over it

Like those crystal water summers

I am happy under it
Dm Bb Gm
Oh, just me in the sea with blue light for company
[Chorus]

And that, all this time I was tryin' to be
Bb Gm
James Dean, pristine, suntanned, underwater
F
Living an american dream
Dm
California bleach blond
Bb
Pink scars across the pond
Gm F
Suntanned, underwater, living an american dream
Dm
I could be a beacon of hell
Bb
I could live without this swell
Gm
Live my life in black and white
F
Just like an american dream
Dm
Oh woah oh oh

In the rain and I'm goin' no where

I know it's all in America
