American Spirit

F#m D A B5

[Verse 1]
F#m7                          F#m
I won’t stop searching 'til I find 
it
D                       E
Lost  like memories when I was a kid
F#m7                   F#m
Is  it in crystals or a sound bath
D                              E
Or the things I dreamt up, but I 
never did?
               F#m7
I’ve looked all over, seeing double
     F#m
Do  I need a single eye?
         Dmaj7                     
I  need a mail order guru like 
 E
those mail order brides
F#m7
They say it’s all in meditation
           D                E
But  when I sit still, I’m afraid 
what I’ll find


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7
Am I gonna get better?
D
Did I drink the Kool-Aid?
E
Am I looking in all the wrong 
places?
E
Is  my body just space?


[Chorus]
F#m7                      D
I got that American Spirit
                   E
It's searching for what I can’t find
Continues after the ad
               F#m7      D
I’m looking in holy rivers
                   E5   E
I pray that she’ll show me a sign


[Verse 2]
F#m7                   F#m
If I let go of holding tightly
D                     E
Will I see Jesus in a stranger 
tonight?
F#m7               F#m
The devil hides in Coca-Cola
D                          E
But if I’m high, will I be more 
qualified?
F#m7                             
'Cause in my Elvis Presley record I 
F#m
found the light
D                                 
And my books say I’m a badass for 
     E
just $12.99
F#m7                      F#m
Maybe I’ll trace it to my family
          D                     E
But maybe some things, should be 
buried alive


[Chorus]
F#m7                      D
I got that American Spirit
                   E
It's searching for what I can’t find
               F#m7      D
I’m looking in holy rivers
                   E5   E
I pray that she’ll show me a sign


[Post-Chorus]
           F#m7
I’m giving up
D
I surrender to you
           Bm     B
I’m giving up
           F#m
I’m giving up
     D
I surrender to you
           Bm     B
I’m giving up


[Bridge]
E                   A  D
Am I gonna get better?
E                   A  Bm
Am I gonna get better?


[Chorus]
F#m7                      D
I got that American Spirit
                   E
It's searching for what I can’t find
               F#m7      D
I’m looking in holy rivers
                   E5   E
I pray that she’ll show me a sign
