         (Hey)

INTRO:
Bm        A
   He was 18 and wasted
D    G
 Bedroom in the basement
 Bm              A
Parents' house, Tucson, Arizona
 Bm                    G
What do expect from a high school 
diploma?

Bm         A                     D
  Working hours in the shoe store
         G                     Bm
Selling dimes out the back door
        A
And he puts on his prom crown
 Bm                        G      
Says to his Mama, "I'm the king of
           D
 this town"


PD-C HORUS:
           A
Won't you take me out?
   D                 G    
I hear the midnight streets 
           D
a-calling
         A
You can hold me down
     Bm              G
But like a bird I'm just free 
falling


CHORUS:
G                  D       A
 Here's to these American nights
G                  Bm          A
 We're having the time of our lives
 G                              
Living, dreaming, feeling, never 
  D
sleeping
         A               G
Till we see the morning light
          Bm       A      Bm  A  
On these American nights (Hey)   
 D G  Bm A  Bm G
                (Hey)

Neighborhood kid, just back from the
 desert
D             G              Bm
Tattoo and a discharge letter
 A
VA in the Saint John
Bm                         G     
Six times a week he still sleeps 
                 Bm
with his boots on

             A                  D
She skipped track up to Brooklyn
        G                     Bm
With a dream and some tanned skin
      A
Graveyard at The Rhino
 Bm                          G    
This is the place where the stars 
             D
shine, y'know?

VERSE:
Bm           A               D
  The sky's black in November
             G
And nothing good lasts forever
Bm                   A
12-gauge heart in a machine-gun town
 Bm                     G
Whole life running, ya can't stop 
now

Living on a feeling, got a feeling
           A          G
That it's gonna be alright
