American Dream

[Intro] Eb  Cm7  Ab
        Eb  Cm7  Ab

[First Part]

Eb
A little something in the air

I thought I didn’t have a prayer
            Cm7                    
But your friend said, “have faith”
Ab

Eb
Rehearsing what I might say

You turn your head, I look away
         Cm7           Ab
And I’m cursing my name

[Pre-Chorus]

Bb                              
There’s a voice that’s saying, 
Cm7            Ab
“take your seat”
Bb                             
This town is small and yet you 
Cm7                  Ab
are always out of reach

[Chorus]

               Eb             Cm7
But suddenly , Every flash of light 
is
        Ab
Shining on your face
Eb               Cm7
I’m lost for words and
Ab
I’m feeling my heart race
Bb                   Cm7
And I’ve wanted this so bad
Ab                 Eb
How long I won’t say
                   Cm7
In this American Dream
Ab                   Eb
Tell me that you’ll stay

[Second Part]

Eb
You say the city’s gonna talk
                   Cm7           Ab
And that you dream of running off
Eb
And you’ll never look back
But would it be so bad If we changed
      Cm7
 our plans
                 Ab
Are we living in the past

[Pre-Chorus]

Bb                              
There’s a voice that’s saying, 
Cm7            Ab
“step right up”
Bb                              
It’s all we’ve known but maybe 
Cm7            Ab
that could be enough

[Chorus]

               Eb             Cm7
But suddenly , Every flash of light 
is
        Ab
Shining on your face
Eb               Cm7
I’m lost for words and
Ab
I’m feeling my heart race
Bb                   Cm7
And I’ve wanted this so bad
Ab                 Eb
How long I won’t say
                   Cm7
In this American Dream
Ab
Tell me that you’ll stay

[Third Part]

Cm7         Ab
In my heart, By my side
Eb          Bb
But if I can’t change your mind
Cm7           Ab           
Give me your word that you’ll 
      Eb           Bb
remember this night
Cm7        Ab
Looking up, At the sky
Eb             Bb
With all our friends standing by
Ab
Frozen in the spotlight

Frozen in the spotlight, yeah

[Bridge]

Bb                              
There’s a voice that’s saying, 
Cm7        Ab
“step right up”

[Chorus]

               Eb             Cm7
But suddenly , Every flash of light 
is
        Ab
Shining on your face
Eb               Cm7
I’m lost for words and
Ab
I’m feeling my heart race
Bb                   Cm7
And I’ve wanted this so bad
Ab                 Eb
How long I won’t say
                   Cm7
In this American Dream
Ab                   Eb
Tell me that you’ll stay

    Tell me that you’ll stay
  Ab  Eb

Cm7  Ab
    Tell me that you’ll stay
