Am

[Verse]
Am
Everything I need is blowing in the breeze
Am7                                  Am
Everything I want is just down stream
C                                      Am
Everything between my ears is just a dream

Am
I never stay still, I'm always in motion
D                    Am
Flying in a tin can, hanging by a shoe string
C                                             Am
Sitting on a plastic throne, living like a king

[Pre-Chorus]
Em            A
Stuck in a dream
Em             G
Stuck in a dream

[Chorus]
C         E              F    G
It's only American heartache
C         E              F    G
It's only American heartache

Am

[Verse]
Am
I wanna make peace but I don't have the skills
D                 Am
When I feel pain I reach for the pills
C                            Am
I wish I had a body of steel but I'm over the hill

[Pre-Chorus]
Em            A
Stuck in a dream
Em             G
Stuck in a dream

[Chorus]
C         E              F    G
It's only American heartache
C         E              F    G
It's only American heartache

C                 E
Nothing is wrong, nothing's at stake
F           G                                C     E
I only feel bad when I can't have nothing at all
F           G                                 Am
I only feel bad when I can't have nothing at all
