[Verse 1]
Gm         F      Gm   F
Let's grow up and grow apart, 
      Gm       F        Gm
let's raise an American Child.
Gm         F          Gm       F
Spend that money that we can't afford, 
      Gm         F        Gm
let's raise our  American Child

Gm           F         Gm       F
Get together fast, and grow old slow, 
Gm             F       Gm
move into that house, another one sold
Gm        F      Gm      F
Ship them off to private school
Gm            F           Gm
raise them up better than other parents do

[Chorus]

[verse 2]
Gm      F     Gm      F
Waging wars against ourselves, 
Gm    F     Gm    F
keep on sounding alarms
Gm         F          Gm        F
One foot forward, the other one back, 
Gm    F        Gm       F
let's raise an American Child
Gm          F         Gm        F 
Unreachable goals and tarnished souls, 
Gm    F         Gm            F
just smile and pretend you're OK.
Gm      F      Gm    F
Moving on and being strong, 
Gm        F      Gm       F
cauz that's the American way.
