Verse 3
I’ve heard (G major) once to be dreaming
means you’ve (D major) got to be asleep

‘Cause it’s a (C major) hard- (G/B) up (A minor) kind of life
When you’re (G major) not allowed to (D major) get yourself
a (C major) natural high
Here’s a (G major) pill to help you (D major) sleep
just (C major) give it some time
(A minor) Now you’re addicted
to this (C major) bullshit A (D major) merican Dream (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
(G major) (D major) (C major) (D major) (G major)

Around a (D major) bullshit American Dream
