Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Intro:
      C                       F
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
F     G        C   C
Do-do-do-do-do-do...

Verse:
C
 Wake up again in an old motel
     F
Is it somewhere different? I canʼt tell
G                            F              C
 Every set of curtains opens to the open road

And Iʼm missing you like hell
     F
This van is like a prison cell
      G                               F               C
And I know you have gone with her and I canʼt Go back home

Chorus:
                   Am           F  C
Iʼve been American dreaminʼ, oh woah
             Am           F  C
Iʼm American dreaminʼ, oh woah
             Am           F
Iʼm American dreaminʼ, oh woah
            G             C
But I never seem to get no rest

Verse:
C
I should get some rest today
     F
Then pack my bags, be on my way
    G                               F
But my mindʼs always workinʼ on the way it couldʼve been
C
 Tryna tow a tightrope line
F
 Find a way to feel half fine
G                                  F            C
 Without drowninʼ in this wine and callinʼ you again

Chorus:
                   Am           F  C
Iʼve been American dreaminʼ, oh woah
             Am           F  C
Iʼm American dreaminʼ, oh woah
             Am           F
Iʼm American dreaminʼ, oh woah
            G             C
But I never seem to get no rest

Bridge:

Verse:
    C
Iʼm losinʼ touch with all my friends
    F
The ones who remind me who I am
G                                      F                C
 If I could just get back home to pick up where we left off
    C
Iʼd take better care of myself
   F
Iʼd stop drinkinʼ from the bottom shelf
   G                                  F                 C
But my old wheels keep spinninʼ and I cannot make them stop

Chorus:
                   Am           F  C
Iʼve been American dreaminʼ, oh woah
             Am           F  C
Iʼm American dreaminʼ, oh woah
             Am           F
Iʼm American dreaminʼ, oh woah
            G             C
But I never seem to get no rest

Verse:
         C
So I get back home and try to be
F
 Someone thatʼs something like me
G                                 F               C
 But Iʼve forgotten all my angels out here in the wind
C
 Sittinʼ out here with my mind
 F
I meditate to pass the time
G                                          F         Am
 But thereʼs something inside settinʼ sail all over again

Iʼm American dreaminʼ, oh woah
                  Am           F
Iʼm just American dreaminʼ, oh woah
            G             C
But I never seem to get no rest
                 Am           F  C
Oh, Iʼm American dreaminʼ, oh woah
             Am           F  C

But I never seem to get no rest
