A
I used to see you on every T.V.,  your smiling face looked back at me.

D                                                                  A
I used to see you on every T.V.,  your smiling face looked back at me.

E
Then they caught you with the girl next door, People's money piled on the floor,

Bm                                D                                   A  Am9  A  etc.
Accusations that you try to deny, Revelations and rumors begin to fly.

A
Now you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above.

D                                                           A
Now you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above.

E
Reporters crowd around your house going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,

Bm                                D                                        A
Speculating what they may find out, it don't matter now, you're all washed up.

E                                    A  E                                        A  E
You wake up in the middle of the night, your sheets are wet and your face is white.

E                                    A  E                                        Bsus2
You tried to make a good thing last.   How could something so good, go bad, so fast?

A                               Bm
American dream, American dream

A                               Bm    D
American dream, American dream.

A
Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and strong.

D                                                                               A
Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and strong.
