Intro 

 Eb  Cm7  Ab 
 Eb  Cm7  Ab 



Eb 
A little something in the air, 
 I thought I didn’t have a prayer 
           Cm7                    Ab 
But your friend said, “have faith” 
Eb 
Rehearsing what I might say, 
You turn your head, I look away 
         Cm7           Ab 
And I’m cursing my name 



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



               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 



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



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


 
               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 



Cm7         Ab 
In my heart, By my side 
Eb          Bb 
But if I can’t change your mind 
Cm7           Ab                 Eb           Bb 
Give me your word that you’ll 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                              Cm7        Ab 
There’s a voice that’s saying, “step right up” 


               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
