Intro: Em G D (2x)

Mmm..... 

Verse: 
Em           G          D       
We broke down trying to leave town 
Em                     G          D 
Flying down the road to change 
                Em       G     D          
We were born to run, Cali here we come 
Em                              G     D 
Scared from nowhere USA  
Em                   G                  D 
Say goodbye to white picket fences 

Say hello to palm trees and benzes 
Em                               G                   D 
They say you have to fall to have it all 

(Mmm....) 
      Em                   G                              D 
Uh, we'll we don't want two kids and a wife 

I don't want a job I just want a life  
Em                                     G      D 
They say the underdogs rise 

In my mind you''ll fall 

  

Em                 G                     D 
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know 
Em           G            D 
'Cuz Jack left Diane thirty years ago 
Em                G                 D 
The world is spinning too fast for you and me 
Em              G             D 
So tell me what ever happened to the American dream 


Verse: 

Em        G       D       
I know a girl I met her last night 
Em                   G              D               
She was fresh of the plane 
 Em                            G           
She whispered in my ear, 
D                                      Em           G         D     
"Baby come here, I'll do anything to make a name" 
Em           G                               D 
Baby, take my hand and follow me 'cuz 

I don't want to hurt you but he does 
Em                  G                          D 
I just wanna give you some real advice 

(Listen baby, Mmm...) 
Em               G                           D 
Look, never take candy from a stranger 

And keep your eyes open for danger 
Em                     G                    D 
'Cuz this right here is a twisted paradise 


Em                 G                     D
