[Intro]
G D G A D
[Verse 1]
D G
Wake up again in a old motel, is it somewhere different I can’t tell
A G D
Every set of curtains opens to the open road
G
And I’m missing you like hell, this van is like a prison cell
A G D
And I know you have gone with her and I can’t go back home
[Chorus]
Bm7 G D
I’ve been American dreaming, oooo
Bm7 G D
I’m American dreaming, oooo
Bm7 G
I’m American dreaming, ooo
A D
But, I never seem to get no rest
[Verse 2]
D G
I should get some rest today then pack my bags, be on my way
A G D
But my minds always working on the way it could have been
G
Trying to tow a tight rope line, find a way to feel half fine
A G D
Without drowning in this wine, and calling you again
[Chorus]
Bm7 G D
I’ve been American dreaming, oooo
Bm7 G D
I’m American dreaming, oooo
Bm7 G
I’m American dreaming, ooo
A D
But, I never seem to get no rest
[Interlude]
G D G A D
[Verse 3]
D G
I’m losing touch with all my friends, the ones who remind me who I am
A G D
If I could just get back home to pick up where we left off
G
I’d take better care of myself, I’d stop drinking from the bottom shelf
A G D
But my old wheels keep spinning and I cannot make them stop
[Chorus]
Bm7 G D
I’ve been American dreaming, oooo
Bm7 G D
I’m American dreaming, oooo
Bm7 G
I’m American dreaming, ooo
A D
But, I never seem to get no rest
[Verse 4]
D G
So, I get back home and try to be someone that’s something like me
A G D
But, I’ve forgotten all my angels out here in the wind
G
Sitting out here with my mind I meditate to pass the time
A G Bm
But there’s something inside setting sail all over again
[Interlude]
G D G A D
G D G
Ooo, ooo
A D
Ooo, ooo
[Out-Chorus]
Bm7 G D
I’ve been American dreaming, oooo
Bm7 G D
I’m American dreaming, oooo
Bm7 G
I’m American dreaming, ooo
A D
But, I never seem to get no rest
Bm7 G D
Oh, I’m American dreaming, oooo
Bm7 G D
I’m American dreaming, oooo
Bm7 G
I’m American dreaming, ooo
A D
But, I never seem to get no rest
