[Intro]
G D  G  A D

[Verse 1]
D
Wake up again in a old
 motel,
         G
 is it somewhere different
 I can’t tell
A                     G
Every set of curtains opens
                D
 to the open road
And I’m missing you like
 hell,
      G
 this van is like a prison
 cell
    A
And I know you have
gone with her and
G               D
I can’t go back home

[Chorus]

I’ve been American
Bm7        G D
dreaming, oooo
             Bm7
I’m American dreaming,
G D
oooo
             Bm7
I’m American dreaming,
 G
ooo
             A
But, I never seem to
      D
get no rest

[Verse 2]
D
I should get some rest
 today then
 G
pack my bags, be on
my way
    A
But my minds always
working
       G
on the way it could
        D
have been
Trying to tow a tight
 rope
       G
 line, find a way
 to feel half fine
A
Without drowning in
this
           G
 wine, and calling you
  D
  again

[Chorus]
                   Bm7
I’ve been American dreaming,
G D
oooo
             Bm7        G D
I’m American dreaming, oooo
             Bm7        G
I’m American dreaming, ooo
             A            D
But, I never seem to get no
rest

[Interlude]
G D  G  A D

[Verse 3]
D
I’m losing touch with all
                 G
 my friends, the ones who
remind me who I am
A
If I could just get back
home
         G
 to pick up where we left
  D
  off
I’d take better care of
 myself,
     G
 I’d stop drinking from
 the
bottom shelf
    A
But my old wheels keep
 spinning
      G
and I cannot make them
 D
 stop

[Chorus]
                   Bm7
I’ve been American dreaming,
 G D
oooo
             Bm7        G D
I’m American dreaming, oooo
             Bm7        G
I’m American dreaming, ooo
             A            D
But, I never seem to get no
 rest


[Verse 4]
D
So, I get back home and
          G
try to be someone that’s
 something like me
A
But, I’ve forgotten all my
        G               D
 angels out here in the wind
Sitting out here with my mind
   G
 I meditate to pass the time
A
But there’s something inside
              G         Bm
 setting sail all over again

[Interlude]
G D  G  A D
G D    G
Ooo, ooo

             A            D
But, I never seem to get no
rest
