IntroDGDF#BmGDBmGBmGDBmF#mGVerse 1GDBmG
It feels like, American Dreams caught on fire
G
We’re tearing down the white picket fences
GA soldier bleeds, and a soldier dies
G
Have you ever thought that war was a sickness
D
I’m a son of it, fucked up from it
G
Casualty of my family ‘cause of it
BmG
We dare to dream, or live to die
Dm
Reunited by the truth at the right time
Pre-Chorus
N.C.
Something’s wrong here
N.C.
Or so it seems
N.C.
Cause I’m not sleeping in
ChorusBmF#mG
American Dreams, American lies
DBmF#mG
We’re trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
ABm
So give me the truth
F#mG
Don’t tell me your lies
DBm
Cause it’s harder to breathe
F#mG
When you’re buried alive

Verse 2Bm
With every bullet hole, there’s a blood stain
G
Another family that’s struggling to keep sane
BmD
Cause their neighborhood, ain’t a safe place
GD
Got us all wearing black every Sunday
BmD
And I’m growing numb to the violence
G
Sing along to the sounds of the sirens
BmF#
We’re trying to keep ourselves alive
GA
But it’s hard to get by when it feels like
