An American Dream

standard voicings. Amaj7 is x02120


A Amaj7
And I was dreaming in my sleep
Em F
Saw through you all
A Amaj7...
And I was dreaming still on my feet
Saw through you all

And I saw what you could be
And you just don't feel free

And I saw what you could be A Amaj7 Em F
But you just won't be real to me

[break] D Dm D G D G E G (not as tedious as it looks)

E G...
So let's blame this excess
On an American dream
So let's blame the success
Of an American dream

Are you confused by the chaos
In everyones wandering eyes
Do you dream of running naked
In warm rain
Are you confused by the chaos
It's no, it's no surprise
We all stand next to Jesus
Close to Satan we're both the same

F E G
These birds can't fly away away
F E G
These birds can't fly away

E G...
So let's blame this excess
On an American dream
So let's blame the success
Of an American dream
Of an American dream
Of an American dream
Of an American dream
- stop next two lines
Feeling so high and low
E G...
It's the American dream
It's the American dream
It's the American dream
It's the American dream

AMERICA

All in My Mind
words and music by Daniel Ash

intro (let chords ring):
| Am | Am | C | C |
| Am7* | Am7 | G | G |

*really Am7addG x02013 or 575585

verse:
C
Walk around so cold
G
So cold and lonely
C
Or lay in bed wondering what
G
To do with time
C
You've got no sense of fun
G
Until you know you've won again
F
And yet you feel so much
C G (let ring)
You feel so much inside

verse:
You want to rip all the
Jewels off all the idiots' backs so badly
You scream give me what I've always
Missed, give me a good time
But if you look into your mirror
You'll see that nobody has ever ripped you off
It's all in your mind
(Di-dip, di-dip, di-dip)

verse:
Her beauty can only ever be skin deep
But if I'm honest that's all I ever
Really need
So throw us some flowers and we'll
Give you some songs and sunshine
And if you give me an hour
I'll show you how you feel
(Di-dip, di-dip, di-dip)

chorus:
F G F G
Ohhh baby, ohhh I'm much too lazy
F G C
Ohhh-oh it's all in my mind
G
So don't be unkind
C
It's all in my mind
G
It's all in my mind

verse:
Sometimes you really don't
Really don't really don't know
What I mean
Sometimes you really don't
Really don't really don't
Know what I need
I say I've got no sense of
Fun until I know I've won again
And how do you think yes how
Do you think that feels
So, just give me an hour
I'll show you how you feel
(Di-dip, di-dip, di-dip)

chorus:
F G F G
Ohhh baby, ohhh I'm much too lazy
F G
Ohhh baby
F G C
Ohhh-oh it's all in my mind
G
So don't be unkind
C
It's all in my mind
G
It's all in my mind
(repeat till fade)
