Bm E Bm E (2x)

    Bm                             E
You hang around like the smell of ammonia
    Bm                        E
And I'm trying to weather you out
    Bm                        E
Is this as good as you get California
             Bm               E
Without a doubt
        Bm                         E
I get a little distressed from the pressure
        Bm                E
I get sick about doing my best
             Bm                         E
When you get stuck in the business of pleasure
                    Bm        E
You're put to the test

[Chorus]
  G
American dream
  A
Well I can dream too
  D                            E
They're gonna forget no matter what you do
  G
American dream
  A                 Bm       E
I'm living it up for you

Bm    E

              Bm                 E
It's like you wasting away to the border
        Bm                  E
But what if this is as good as you get
           Bm                     E
There will be time to reflect when it' s over
                Bm      E
It's not over yet
           Bm                   E
He's got everything he's ever wanted
           Bm                  E
But he's stuck in a back limousine
              Bm                 E
Outside the windows, they line up to tore him
                Bm          E
From living the dream

[Chorus]
  G
American dream
  A
Well I can dream too
    D                      E
You gonna regret no matter what you do
  G
American dream
  A               Bm
I leave it all up to you

  Bm       E
(oh.. la la la)

[Same pace]
Bm                   E
Everybody wants something better
Bm                   E
Everybody wants someting good
Bm                   E
Your know it doesn't get any better
Bm                   E
In Hollywood

G
American dream
  A
Well I can dream too
    D                      E

 G                 A
And if I can dream American too
     D                                 E
Just don't let them tell you what you gotta do
G               A
Don't you ever, never no way
   D                              E
You wanna be New York but getting stuck in A 
   G            A             Bm
American dream, I give it all for you

[Repeat with fadeout]
  Bm       E
(oh.. la la la)
