American Shoes – Rainbow Kitten Surprise [Intro] A F#m D x2 [Verse]
A             F#m      D                     A     F#m   D
You said I'll come back, I'll come back for you my love, wait for me 

A                   F#m    D                    A    F#m   D                 A
You said you're the only, you've been the only one I love, and love believes 
[Chorus]
F#m              D          A            E     F#m   D       A           E
But love is a bird that you kept in your coat, warm until it died in the dark

    F#m           D            A             E
And death is the love of what hurts you the most 

        D                                               A
So you drink your day away till you're warm as paradise 

A       G#m      F#m                  D           A
I'm not hurt I'm broken, but I called to say I'm fine 

A           G#m       F#m         D                                    A
And I heard you had another love, but I'd love you to think I don't mind 

A                G#m        F#m         D                           A
The baby in your arms ain't mine, but I made believe as though it was

A                    G#m        F#m                     D
And I didn't mean to call this late but I think I'm in love with the thought of us 
[Bridge]
A F#m D A
(6 down mute 5 down)
[Verse]
A
So you drink your day away till the liquor in your mouth laughs, 

F#m
And mirrors paint you beautiful like older photographs, 

             D                                A
But we grow, we grow old, even this won't last 

A
No one understands, no one cares at all 

F#m
And they're tearing down our sacred places in the hall 

D                                                             A
You know I hate to dance, still you ask, still you ask for my hand 

A                                      F#m
I love you like the kids love throwing bottles off the bridge 

             A                           D           A
And breaking in to trade your fix for American shoes 

     F#m
For American shoes, 

           A             D
I've been dying to lie awake in a room for two 

A   F#m    D                        A  F#m D
I'll come back, I'll come back for you my love 
[Chorus]
F#m              D          A            E     F#m   D       A           E
But love is a bird that you kept in your coat, warm until it died in the dark

    F#m           D            A             E
And death is the love of what hurts you the most 

        D                                               A
So you drink your day away till you're warm as paradise 

A       G#m      F#m                  D           A
I'm not hurt I'm broken, but I called to say I'm fine 

A           G#m       F#m         D                                    A
And I heard you had another love, but I'd love you to think I don't mind 

A                G#m        F#m         D                           A
The baby in your arms ain't mine, but I made believe as though it was

A                    G#m       F#m                      D
And I didn't mean to call this late but I think I'm in love with the thought of us
