[Intro] D [Verse 1]
D                 D
On these American nights

                      D
That's when we all go out

                     Bm
That's when we feel alive

                        D
That's when the tops go down

                        D
I break a dollar at the bar

                     D
And make the jukebox sing

                       Bm
So tell Rosie what you want

                     A
The first round's on me
[Chorus]
                           G
We're gonna light up these streets baby

A                        G
 Shake the dust off your dreams baby

A                          G
 We're gonna lose a little sleep baby

A                  D
 On these American nights!
[Verse 2]
D                    D
 Under the stars and stripes

                         D
We live and die with our friends

                         Bm
There's nothing we can't do

                   D
As soon as the sun sets

                    D
I'm gonna find me a girl

                          D
I'm gonna try to make her laugh

                           Bm
And when she gives me that look

                   A
I'm gonna take her hand
[Chorus]
                        G
'Cause everything about her reminds me

A                    G
 Of all the broken romance behind me

A                        G
 I'm giving love another chance to find me

A                  D
 On these American nights!
[Bridge]
D                                 D
Daylight please don't come up any higher

       D                                   Bm
'Cause we've got main street lit up like a fire

Em                  F#m
Nothing compares to breathing the air

     G                  A
When I'm back in my hometown

    Em               F#m
Someday my kids will run like I did

   G                         A
On these streets and old playgrounds!
[Verse 3]
        A         D
I wanna drive all night

                  D
Turn up the radio loud

                 Bm
Left hand in the breeze

                       A
I shut the whole world out
[Chorus]
                      G
So come and ride with me baby

A                         G
 I'm saving you the front seat baby

A                    G
 Feeling nothing but free baby

A                  D
 On these American nights!
[Outro]
D          Bm    A
Ooooohhhhh Ooooohhhhh

D          Bm    A
Ooooohhhhh Ooooohhhhh

                  D
On these American nights!
D
