American romance Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Mobile home along the river
[C]From the heartland, she's delivered
[Am]Steals the naked truth from me
And I don't stand [G]a chance
Love is like a summer [C]heatwave
Humid air, it's hard to behave
Swim[Am]ming in the danger
of American [G]romance
Safe inside and air conditioned
[C]Mirror rendezvous omission
[Am]Trying to be conscious
In a crazy circumstance
[G]She drove up here afternoon like
[C]Racing up the lonely turnpike
[Am]Found an open diner
And American ro[G]mance

[Verse 2]
[C]Time won't [D]tell
It [G]never [D]says a word
[Em]I only[G] wait[C]
And, I can't say I wait too [G]well[D]
[C]Every [D]day, [G]the same [D]old arr[C]ow on [D]a string
[C]Sings its way from heaven's bow
[G]And, I swing safely over hel[D]l[C]
Safely over [G]hell

[Verse 3]
[G]Police sirens pierce the silence
[C]Break the spell of inner viol[Am]ence
A war between my mind and body
Started by [G]a glance
My body fueled by love and trust
Is am[C]bushed by my mental justice
[Am]Truth is dust in sunlight
In American [D]ro [G]mance

[Verse 4]
[C]Time won't [D]tell
It [G]never [D]says a word
[Em]I only[D] wait[C]
And, I can't say I wait too [G]well[D]
[C]Every [D]day, the [G]same old [Em]arrow [D]on a string
[C]Sings its way from heaven's bow
[G]And, I swing safely over hel[D]l[C]
Safely [Am]over [G]hell

[Verse 5]
[G]We sit in the car alone
[C]Now's [G]the time for stealing [C]home
[D]Feel a [Am]little joy before the
many [D]sides advance
[G]And, now as history allows
All my lines are hidden vows
Im[Am]mortalized in song
For my [D]American [G]Romance

[Verse 6]
[C]Time won't [D]tell
It [G]never [D]says a word
[Em]I on[G]ly wait[C]
And, I can't say I wait too [G]well[D]
[C]Every [D]day, the [G]same [D]old arr[Em]ow on [D]a string
[C]Sings its way from
heaven's [G]bow
And, I swing safely over [D]hell[C]
Safely [Am]over [G]hell

[Outro 1]
[G][D][G]
