[Am][Em][C][Am][Em][C]
[Am][Em][Bm][C][Am]
[C]wou[Em]ldn't call this a victo[Bm]ry (victor[Am]y)[Em]
We pick sides and fight [Bm]because
we can't agree to [Am]disagree
[Em]You never wanna listen,
you just [C]speak [Am](you just speak[Em])
Light a match to the bridge but there's

Try to cover up your [C]insecur[Am]ity

I don't know who I [D]can

[Am]I need a "he said" "she

Give me truth,
give me something to believe [Am]in
[Em]Sometimes I feel like
we're [C]asking for more

We [C]don't know what [Am]we're
dying [Em]for

[Bm][Am]
[Em]Vultures circle in the land of the free
The American dream is tearing

[Verse 8]
[Em]What[Am][Em]
The American dream
