Live version from NPR Music - Tiny Desk Concert:
[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 Hyde 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
