[Verse 1]

C                    F
  I been across this big wide world
G              C
  Seen so many beautiful girls
C                            F
  And though your eyes don’t seem to lie
G                       C
  You make me feel like Mister High


[Chorus 1]

C              F
   And now I know
Dm                      G
   I finally found the American dream
C                F
   And now the love
Dm                      G                     
   I finally found the American dream

  I’m a ghost from her past
G                 C
  I come haunting to your door

  I just can’t make it without your love
G               C
  You look like heaven above


[Chorus 2]

   I finally found the American dream
C            F
   All the love
Dm                      G                    
   I finally found the American dream

C                    F
  I saw you there, I admit I was scared
G                   C
  So much happening everywhere
C                F
  I took a walk around the room
G              C
  Like a mummy out of its tomb


[Chorus 3]

C              F
   And now I know
Dm                      G
   I finally found the American dream

C                   F
   Late at night, I creep up to your window
Dm             G
   You look so beautiful
C              F
   I’m Dracula in your thoughts
Dm                G
   You’re my dream girl


[Chorus 4]

C              F
   And now I know
Dm                      G
   I finally found the American dream
C                F
   And now the love
Dm                      G                    
   I finally found the American dream
