American Cliché Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am](Oka[Am]y)[Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Too little to do for too long and
[C]Too little of you for my songs
To be [F]anything but lonely
In a [Dm]couple weeks, you'll own [E]me
[Am]Too tired to sleep, good morning
And [C]I'm too wired to heed the warning
That there's [F]danger in the summer
The [Dm]calm before the thun[E]der

[Chorus 1]
I'm an A[Am]merican cliché
Missing a [C]girl in a French café
I say, "God[F]damn, you're beautiful"
You're [Dm]blushing, duck out of [E]frame
I'm an A[Am]merican cliché
Missing a [C]girl in a French café
I say, "How'd I [F]get along
so long without [E]you"

[Interlude 1]
And you say,
[Am]("Same")[Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Graveyard, Jim Morrison, forever
[C]In my arms, they'll have to bury us together
'Cause I'm [F]never gonna let you go
[Dm]Uh-oh, uh-oh[E]
[Am]Missed my flight,
making love in the [C]morning
While everybody else was boarding
They [F]love to say they told you so
I [Dm]know, I know, I [E]know

[Chorus 2]
I'm an A[Am]merican cliché
Missing a [C]girl in a French café
I say, "God[F]damn, you're beautiful"
You're [Dm]blushing, duck out of [E]frame
I'm an A[Am]merican cliché
Missing a [C]girl in a French café
I say, "How'd I [F]get along
so long without [E]you"

[Interlude 2]
And you say,
[Am]("Same")[Am][Am][Am]

[Bridge 1]
[Am]Come on over now
You're one layover down
No one we know around
Don't want the city with[F]out you
I [E]want you
[Am]We'll go all over town
No one we know around
Can't say I'm sober now
Do something I'm not al[F]lowed to
I [E]want you

[Chorus 3]
I'm an A[Am]merican cliché
Missing a [C]girl in a French café
I say, "God[F]damn, you're beautiful"
You're [Dm]blushing, duck out of [E]frame
I'm an A[Am]merican cliché
Missing a [C]girl in a French café
I say, "How'd I [F]get along so long with[E]out you"
And you say, [Am]"Same"
