[Verse 1]
[D]Hey baby
Hey baby
Maybe I was born sick
In a castle on top [Em]of the world
Maybe [D]the whole gang is better off
Makin' money out fightin' [Em]a war
[D]Terminal motion
Keeps spinnin' me [Em]around
Temporary de[D]votion[G]
[D]With a picket fence and
a rowdy crowd
[Em]

[Verse 2]
Well I was [G]sure that everything
[D]was goi[Em]n' fin[D]e
Until you [G]took the shot and
[D]killed me with [Em]your mind
I'm a man and I wanna be [G]honest
I'm [D]better than I [Em]used to be
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
But now the [G]whole [D]world
[Em]is wired up[D]
On the [G]red, [D]white, and [A]the green
And all the [G]boys [D]and girls [Em]are
growin' [D]up
[F]In a strange [A]American [D]dream

[Verse 4]
Temperature [D]risin'
And the water tastes [Em]like blood
Look at all [D]of the sensitive people
Screamin' from [Em]their yards, oh
And my neighbor down [D]the street[G]
[D]With the pretty face
and the rubber [Em]jaw
Has plenty there to [D]eat[G]
[D]But she don't share nothin' at all
[Em]

[Verse 5]
Well I was [G]sure that everything
[D]was goi[Em]n' fin[D]e
Until you [G]took the shot and
[D]killed me with [Em]your mind
I'm a man and I wanna be [G]honest
I'm [D]better than I [Em]used to be
[D]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
But now [G]the whole [D]world
[Em]is wired up[D]
On the [G]red, [D]white, and [A]the green
And all the [G]boys [D]and girls [Em]are
growin' [D]up
[F]In a strange [A]American dream
[D]

[Verse 7]
[C]
This ain't nothin' like
What I thought it'd be [F]like
When I was a [Em]little [Dm]kid
I drew [G]dinosaurs fightin' wars
Behind the doors I reinforced [F]with
Red, yellow and [G]green
From all the [C]cameras in front of us
I couldn't tell you what it is I [F]see[Em][Dm]
So I [G]close my eyes and realize
That I'm alive deep inside this
[F]Strange Ame[A]rican dre[D]am
La [Em]la la la, la la la, la, la

[Verse 8]
[D]la, la la
[G]La, la la la[D]
La [F]la [Em]la l[D]a la,
[Em]la la la[D] l[F]a la l[Em]a la[A]

[Verse 9]
But now the [G]whole [D]world
[Em]is wired up[D]
On the [G]red, [D]white, and [A]the green
And all the [G]boys [D]and girls,
[Em]yeah they're growin' [D]up
[F]In a strange
[A]In [D]a s[F]trange[Am][A]
[D]In a [F]strange [A]American dream
[D]
