American by Stone Cold Fox
Chords:


D                         G
Inside my house we had forgotten now

D                         G
Inside my house we had forgotten how

     Bm
To live in the country with three white stones

   G
Surrounding a flag of branches and bones

      Bm
Of mirrors of contracts and signed armored clad

         G
Of the ways we play circus to hide what we had

E|E|E|E|----|||| 



             D                           G
They won't tell me what I am to be an American

Continues after the ad
      D                                                 G
I'm here but my hearts at sea, oh they won't speak for me

E|E|E|E|----|||| 



D                                   G
And someone spoke too soon they got caught again

   D                                               G
And the kids they lost their breath in the revolution

       Bm
They settled for houses and for small kids

       G
To tell them the stories of when they were young

          Bm
The warriors they thought they'd become

      G
Now hide in the surface like the roots from the sun

E|E|E|E|----|||| 



            D                          G
They won't tell me what I am to be an American

      D                                               G
I'm here but my hearts at sea, oh they won't speak for me

E|E|E|E|----||||- 


BRIDGE: Bm, G, Bm, G, A7sus4 , A
E|E|E|E|----|||| 



        D
I will stay up late and dig my own trench

     G
I'll ask all the questions they never present

          Bm
And it's sick and its vain and it's hard to explain

      G
To question the role or the play of the game

               D
Not for your founding father or for the new born threat

               G
Not for your radical breach that you tend to forget

              Bm
Not for your good mother or the weight of her debt

               G
Not for your children at sea, but your own way to..ooo

 D                          G
Tell what you are to be an American

          D                                             G
I can't live by your words and remain the person which I came

             D                          G
They wont tell me what I am to be an American

      D                                               G
I'm here but I'm losing my cool, no I won't wait for you.




NOTES:
After most of the D chords and before each G you can play a  Dmaj7, ex:

D         Dmaj7           G
Inside my house we had forgotten now
