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

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

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

floor, Dm F

                                                 C  Cm9  C  etc.
Accusations that you try to deny, Revelations and rumors begin to fly.

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

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

G
Reporters crowd around your house going through your garbage like a pack of

hounds, Dm F

                                                          C
Speculating what they may find out, it don't matter now, you're all washed

up.

G                                       C  G                                      C    G
You wake up in the middle of the night, your sheets are wet and your face is

white.

G                                           C     G                                           Dsus2
You tried to make a good thing last.   How could something so good, go bad,

so fast?

 C                                             Dm
American dream, American dream

C                                              Dm    F
American dream, American dream.

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

strong.

F                                                                                       C
Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and

strong.

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

hounds,

Dm                                       F

up.

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

strong.

                                                  F
American dream, American dream.  Don't know when things went wrong,

                                                   C
