[Intro]
G D  G  A D

[Verse 1]
D       
Wake up again in a old
 motel,
         G
 is it somewhere different
 I can’t tell
A                     G  
Every set of curtains opens
                D
 to the open road
And I’m missing you like
 hell,
      G
 this van is like a prison
 cell
    A         
And I know you have 
gone with her and
G               D
I can’t go back home

[Chorus]
                  
I’ve been American
Bm7        G D
dreaming, oooo
             Bm7    
I’m American dreaming,
G D
oooo
             Bm7       
I’m American dreaming,
 G
ooo
             A   
But, I never seem to 
      D
get no rest

[Verse 2]
D        
I should get some rest
 today then 
 G
pack my bags, be on 
my way
    A              
But my minds always 
working
       G
on the way it could 
        D
have been
Trying to tow a tight
 rope
       G
 line, find a way
 to feel half fine
A     
Without drowning in 
this
           G     
 wine, and calling you
  D
  again

[Chorus]
                   Bm7       
I’ve been American dreaming, 
G D
oooo
             Bm7        G D
I’m American dreaming, oooo
             Bm7        G
I’m American dreaming, ooo
             A            D
But, I never seem to get no 
rest

[Interlude]
G D  G  A D

[Verse 3]
D      
I’m losing touch with all
                 G
 my friends, the ones who 
remind me who I am
A        
If I could just get back 
home
         G               
 to pick up where we left
  D
  off 
I’d take better care of
 myself,
     G
 I’d stop drinking from 
 the 
bottom shelf
    A     
But my old wheels keep
 spinning 
      G               
and I cannot make them
 D
 stop

[Chorus]
                   Bm7      
I’ve been American dreaming, 
 G D
oooo
             Bm7        G D
I’m American dreaming, oooo
             Bm7        G
I’m American dreaming, ooo
             A            D
But, I never seem to get no
 rest


[Verse 4]
D            
So, I get back home and 
          G
try to be someone that’s
 something like me
A      
But, I’ve forgotten all my
        G               D
 angels out here in the wind
Sitting out here with my mind
   G
 I meditate to pass the time
A     
But there’s something inside
              G         Bm
 setting sail all over again

[Interlude]

             A            D
