[Verse 1]
G D Bm G
It feels like, American Dreams caught on fire
G
We’re tearing down the white picket fences
G
A 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
Bm G
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
[Chorus]
Bm F#m G
American Dreams, American lies
D Bm F#m G
We’re trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
A Bm
So give me the truth
F#m G
Don’t tell me your lies
D Bm
Cause it’s harder to breathe
F#m G
When you’re buried alive
A D
By American Dreams
[Verse 2]
Bm
With every bullet hole, there’s a blood stain
G
Another family that’s struggling to keep sane
Bm D
Cause their neighborhood, ain’t a safe place
G D
Got us all wearing black every Sunday
Bm D
And I’m growing numb to the violence
G
Sing along to the sounds of the sirens
Bm F#
We’re trying to keep ourselves alive
G A
But it’s hard to get by when it feels like
[Pre-Chorus]
N.C.
Something’s wrong here
N.C.
Or so it seems
N.C.
Cause I’m not sleeping in
[Chorus]
Bm F#m G
American Dreams, American lies
D Bm F#m
We’re trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
G Bm
So give me the truth
F#m
Don’t tell me your lies
G D Bm
Cause it’s harder to breathe
D
When you’re buried alive
