[Verse 1]
Doo- doo- [G]doo- doo- [D]doo-
[A]doo- doo- doo
[D]Doo- doo- [G]doo- doo- [A]doo[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Wake up again in an old motel
Is [G]it somewhere different,
I can't [A]tell
Every set of curtains opens
[G]to the open [D]road
And I'm missing you like hell
This [G]van is like a prison cell
An[A]d I know you have gone with her
an[G]d I can't go back [D]home

[Verse 3]
I've been American dream[Bm]in',
oh- [G]whoa- [D]oh
I'm American [Bm]dreamin',
oh- [G]whoa- [D]oh
I'm American [Bm]dreamin', oh- [G]whoa
But I never [A]seem to get no [D]rest

[Verse 4]
[D]I should get some rest today
Then [G]pack my bags, be on my way
But [A]my mind's always workin' on
the [G]way it could have [D]been
Tryin' to tow a tight rope [G]line
Find a way to feel half fine
[A]Without drownin' in this wine
and [G]callin' [D]you again
I've been [A]American dreamin',

[Verse 5]
[Bm]
oh- whoa- [G]oh
[D]I'm American dre[Bm]amin', oh- who[G]a- oh[D]
I'm American [Bm]dreamin',
oh- [G]whoa
But I never [A]seem to get [D]no rest
[G]Ooh

[Verse 6]
[D][G]
Ooh
[A][D]

[Verse 7]
I'm losin' touch with all my friends
The ones [G]who remind me who I am
[A]If I could just get back home
to pick [G]up where we left [D]off
I'd take better care of myself
[G]I'd stop drinkin' from the bottom shelf
But [A]my old wheels keep spinnin'
and I can[G]not make them [D]stop

[Verse 8]
I've been American [Bm]dreamin',
oh- [G]whoa- [D]oh
I'm American [Bm]dreamin', oh- [G]whoa- [D]oh
I'm American [Bm]dreamin', oh- whoa
[G]But I never see[A]m to get no res[D]t

[Verse 9]
So [D]I'll get back home and try to be
[G]Someone that's something like me
[A]But I've forgotten all my an
[F#m]gels o[G]ut here i[D]n the wind
Sittin' out here with my mind
[G]I meditate to pass the time
[A]But there's something inside settin' [F#m]sail
[G]all over again

[Verse 11]
I've been American [Bm]dreamin',
oh- [G]whoa- [D]oh
I'm American [Bm]dreamin',
oh- [G]whoa- [D]oh
I'm just American [Bm]dreamin',
oh- [G]whoa
But I never [A]seem to [D]get no rest

[Verse 12]
Oh, I'm American [Bm]dreamin',
oh- [G]whoa- [D]oh
I'm American [Bm]dreamin', oh- [G]whoa- [D]oh
I'm American [Bm]dreamin',
oh- [G]whoa
But I never [A]seem to get no rest
