[Verse 1]
C F
I been across this big wide world
Dm G
Seen so many beautiful girls
C F
And though your eyes don’t seem to lie
Dm G
You make me feel like Mister High
C F
I’m the ghost that came before
Dm G
I came to haunting at your door
C F
I just can’t make it without your love
Dm G
You look just like the heaven above
[Chorus 1]
C F
And now I know
Dm G
I finally found the American dream
C F
All the love
Dm G
I finally found my American dream
[Verse 2]
C F
You look just like the heaven above
Dm G
I saw you there, I admit I was scared
C F
So much happening, so way too soon
Dm G
I’m the creature from the black lagoon
C F
I took a walk around the room
Dm G
Like a mummy out of its tomb
C F
Late at night, I creep up to your window
Dm G
You look so beautiful
C F
I live a life so free from sin
Dm G
I’m Dracula in your thoughts
C F Dm G
[Chorus 2]
C F
And now I know
Dm G
I finally found the American dream
C F
All the love
Dm G
I finally found the American dream
[Verse 3]
C F
I am your Frankenstein
Dm G
I’d do anything to make you mine
C F
You were so very kind
Dm G
I’d always thought the love for you
C F
I’m King Kong
Dm G
Don’t get me wrong, wrong, wrong
C F Dm
I really hold falling for you
G
I hold you in my arms where you belong
C F Dm G
I’ve always loved little girls
[Chorus 3]
C F
And now I know
Dm G
I finally found the American dream
C F
All the love
Dm G
I finally found the American dream
C F Dm G
