[Intro] B G#m E B
G#m E B
Think of all the things that money can buy
G#m E B
A ranch in the mountains and a pleasure for your eye
E B E B
Then maybe think of things that a dollar bill won't bring
E B E F# B E B
Like someone to hold you close and a song for you to sing
G#m E B
And then think of all the years that it takes to be a fool
G#m E B
Like the lessons you learn in a lifetime, like your lifetime was a school
G#m E B
And then think of things that don't turn out what they seem
G#m E F# B G#m E B
Like the love you thought you owned in the American dream
E B
The American dreamer, sometimes a thinker, sometimes a schemer
E B
Sometimes a child, sometimes a wise man
G#m E B
A lonely sole, a great extremer
E F# B G#m E B
But, none the less, the American Dreamer
