American English Chords

American English

Verse- B /Abm /E/B (C/Am/F/C with guitar tuned down 1/2 step)

Songs when the(y're) truth are all dedicated to you
In this invisible world I choose to live in

And if you believe that for now I understand
Why words mean so much to you
They'll never be about you

Maybe you're young without youth
Maybe you're old without knowing anything's true
I think you're young without youth


Bridge- F# /E /Abm/F# x2 (G/F/Am/G)

Then you contract the American dream
You never look up once
You've contracted American dreams
I require you to stoop and look up.


Chorus- B/F# /Abm/F# x2 (C/G/Am/G)

Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world


As Verse

Constantly searching to find something new
But what will you find when you think that nothing's true
Maybe it's that nothing is new

So you let me hear songs that were written all about you
Because songs weren't written for you
They'll never be about you


Bridge 2

Then you contract the American dream
You never look up once
You've contracted American dreams
You never look up once, so don't look up

Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world

Middle Bit- F#/E/Abm/F# x2 (G/F/Am/G)

I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know
I won't tell you what this means, cause you already know

Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world

(so you came along and found the weak spot that you've always wanted?)
