American Love

	  		
B                             D 
  I'm lying wide awake in bed 
                                    A 
My eyes are closed just like I'm dead 
                                  E 
My friends all think that I'm a bore 
             F#              B 
But I don't need them anymore 
                             D 
I don't get up I don't go out 
                           E 
I have no life to speak about 
                              G 
It feels so good to leave the blame with you 
        F# 
So that's what I do 

     B 
I'm going down 

Come around 
A 
Watch me when I hit the ground 
E 
Give me just one fix of your 
G        F#   
Sweet american love 
B 
I'd go blind 

Lose my mind 
A 
Leave the world I know behind 
E 
Just to feel it one last time 
G            A         B 
My sweet american love 

                            D 
My telephone is off the hook 
                                   A 
My eyes are closed I'm scared to look 
                                 E 
I bet you're happy now you're free 
           F#                B 
But what about poor little me 
                               D 
I draw your picture on the wall 
                                 E 
My phone is dead and still you call 
                        G 
My mama asked I told her I'd get by 
   F# 
that's such I lie 

     B 
I'm going down 

Come around 
A 
Watch me when I hit the ground 
E 
Give me just one fix of your 
G        F#   
Sweet american love 
B 
I'd go blind 

Lose my mind 
A 
Leave the world I know behind 
E 
Just to feel it one last time 
G            A         B 
My sweet american love 

              A                    E 
I've kept the things you gave to me 
                                B 
The air is clear but I can't see 
                A                                   G 
And a cheerful radio boasts that "love is in the air" 
                         F# 
But it's so full of shit 
               B 
A Sony, is it? 
                A                 E 
So what da you have to leave me for 
                              B 
Was it my hair was I such a bore 
               A 
Well you know baby 
              G               F# 
That you were always my only choice
