American Dream chords and lyrics - SWITCHFOOT

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Alright[Am][G][F][C][F]
[G]
When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us
As the top of the mind becomes
the bottom line
Where success is equated with excess
If your time had been nothing but money
I start to feel really bad for you honey
Maybe honey put your money
Where your mouth's been running

[Verse 2]
If your time had been nothing but money
[C]
I want [Dsus4]out of th[D]is machine
[Em]It doesn't feel [D]like freed[G]om
This ain't my American [C]dream[G]
I want to live and die for
[C]bigger [Am]things
I'm tired of fighting for [D]just me
This ain't my Americ[Dsus4]an

[Interlude 1]
dream
[G][Am][G][F][C][F][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Success is equated with excess
When you're fighting for the Beamer,
the Lexus
As the heart and the soul breathe in
the company goals

[Verse 4]
Where success is equated with excess
[C]
I want [D]out of this machine
[Em]It doesn't feel [D]like freed[G]om
This ain't my American [C]dream[G]
I want to live and die for
[C]bigger [Am]things
I'm tired of fighting for [D]just me
This ain't my [Dsus4]Amer ic[D]
[Dsus4]an dream
[G]

[Verse 5]
'Cause baby's [C]always
talking about her [G]ring
And talk has [C]always [G]been the cheapest thing
Is it true, [C]would you do what I want you to
If [G]I show with the [C]right amount of [G]bling[F]
Like a puppet on a [C]monetary [G]string[F]
Maybe we've been [C]caught singing
[Am]Red, white, blue,
and [D]green[Dsus4][D][Dsus4]
But that ain't [D]my [Dsus4]America
That ain't [D]my American [G]dream

[Verse 6]
This ain't [G]my American [C]dream
That ain't my American [G]dream
I want to live and die for [C]bigger things
I want to live and die for
[Am]bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for [D]just [Dsus4]me
[D]This [Dsus4]ain't my Ame[D]rican

[Outro 1]
dream
