American Dream

A              F#
   There was a girl
            A
there was a shoreline
E               A
was an American dream

         F#
Hear her laughing
             A
really feels like
E             A
an American dream

            A         A?
There was a TV turned down
D                  Dm
   Still I heard a scream

           A
and I woke up
E                  A
  from my American dream

Bm                     A
  How long have I been sleeping?
    E           D            A     E
how long 'til I rest in your arms again?

            F#
There was a white rose
        A
and she shone there
E                A
  in an American dream

            F#       A
Through the rocket's red glare
E                A
  of an American dream

            A               A?
Through the shut blind, the sunshine
D           Dm
in a broken beam
        A
woke me up
E                   A
   from my American dream

How long have I been sleeping?
how long 'til I rest in your arms again?

I still look for the girl
along the shoreline
of an American dream

The wind on her dress
waving the bright flag
of an American dream
