American Life (Vocal Mix) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Do [C]I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star?
[G]Missy and Madonna,

[Verse 2]
[C]
boy, ain't nothin' better
Hotter than [G]fat bitches [C]dancin'
in a sweater
Madonna, am I okay skinny or fatter?
When I [G]rap on [C]this track,
all I smell is cheddar
You and I together,
yo, we're tougher than leather
Make pop artists [Em]scatter when
we [C]talk chit- chatter
It really don't matter what
time of day or weather
Or who ass really fatter? My
ka- dunk- ka- dunk badder

[Verse 3]
A rap so sick, won't [C]stop, won't quit
All on my dick, like my name was 50 Cent,
G- Unit
I come with the heat,
see my hits (Ooh)
Sound so sweet, Missy [Bm]ain't pissy
Is you [G]dizzy? Is [C]you with me?
[Em]Tip me when you [G]see me, 'cause
you [C]tryna get with me
Madonna bring the drama, oh,
[Am]mama, that's trauma
[C]Tougher than armor for
your pappy and your mama

[Verse 4]
I [C]tried to be a boy
I tried to be a girl
I tried to be a mess
I tried to be the best
[B]I guess I d[C]id it wrong
[B]That's why[C] I wrote this son[Am]g
This type of mod[C]ern [F]life, is it for me?
[C](I'dlike to express my extreme

[Verse 5]
[C]
point of view)
(I'd like to express my extreme
point of view)
(A Madonna exclusive)

[Verse 6]
So [C]I went into a bar
Looking for sympathy
A little company
I tried to find [Bm]a friend
[B]It's more eas[C]ily [G]said
[C]It's always been the [Am]same
This type of mod[C]ern [F]life is not for [C]me
This type of modern life
is not for free
Do I have to change my
[Em]name?[C]
[Am](C'mon)

[Verse 7]
American life (Amer[G]ican life)
[C]I live the American
Dream (Americ[Em]an Dream)[G]
You [Am]are the best thing I've [G]seen
You [C]are not just a [B]dream
[G](just a dream)
[C]I tried to stay ahead

[Verse 8]
I tried to stay on top
I tried to play the [G]part
But some how I forgot
Just [B]what [C]I did it for
And why I wanted [Am]more
This type of mod[C]ern [F]life, is it for [Em]me?

[Verse 9]
[Em]Fuck it
[C]Ah, fuck it
Ah, fuck it
Ah, fuck it
Ah, fuck [Am]it, uh- huh

[Bm](jus[G]t a [Am]drea[G]m)[Bm][C]
This [D]is

[Verse 11]
[Em]a Ma[D]donn[Bm]a excl[G]usive[Em]
[C]Thi[Am]s is [Bm]the[C][D][Em]
[C]American life, fuck it

[Verse 12]
I'm [G]drinking a soy [C]latte,
I get a double shoté
It goes right through my body,
and you know I'm satisfied
I drive my Mini Cooper and
I'm feeling super- duper
Yo, they tell I'm a trooper,
and you know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and pilates, and the
room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out the bodies,
and you know I'm satisfied
I'm digging on the isotopes,
this metaphysics shit is dope
And if all this can give me hope, you
know I'm satisfied

[Verse 13]
I got [C]a lawyer and a manager,
an agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant,
and a driver and a jet
A trainer, and a butler,
and a bodyguard of five
A gardener and a stylist,
do you think I'm satisfied?
I'd like to express
my extreme point of view
I'm not a Christian and I'm not a Jew
I'm [Bb]just livin' [C]out the American dream
And I just realized that nothin'
is what it [Gm]seems[C][Fm]
[C](Is what it see[Gm]ms, is what it [C]see[Gm]ms,
[C]is what it [Am]seems)

[Verse 14]
American life (Americ[G]an life)
[C]I live the American
Dream (Americ[Em]an Dream)[G]
You [Am]are the best thing I've [G]seen[Em][G]
You [C]are not just a [Bm]dream [G](just a[Am][G][Bm][C]
[D]dre[Em]am)[D][Bm][G][Em][Am][Bm][C]

[Verse 15]
This [D]is [C]the[Em] Amer[C]ican Life, fuck it
