[Verse 1]
G  D     Bm                    G
It feels like, American Dreams caught on fire
G
We’re tearing down the white picket fences
                                G
A soldier bleeds, and a soldier dies
G
Have you ever thought that war was a sickness
D
I’m a son of it, fucked up from it
G
Casualty of my family ‘cause of it
Bm                           G
We dare to dream, or live to die
                                     Dm
Reunited by the truth at the right time

[Pre-Chorus]
N.C.
Something’s wrong here
N.C.
Or so it seems
N.C.
Cause I’m not sleeping in

[Chorus]
         Bm      F#m      G
American Dreams, American lies
      D         Bm              F#m          G
We’re trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
           A   Bm
So give me the truth
      F#m          G
Don’t tell me your lies
           D         Bm
Cause it’s harder to breathe
            F#m    G
When you’re buried alive
        A   D
By American Dreams

[Verse 2]
Bm
With every bullet hole, there’s a blood stain
G
Another family that’s struggling to keep sane
Bm                        D
Cause their neighborhood, ain’t a safe place
G                  D
Got us all wearing black every Sunday
Bm                   D
And I’m growing numb to the violence
G
Sing along to the sounds of the sirens
Bm                   F#
We’re trying to keep ourselves alive
G                                     A
But it’s hard to get by when it feels like

[Pre-Chorus]
N.C.
Something’s wrong here
N.C.
Or so it seems
N.C.
Cause I’m not sleeping in

[Chorus]
         Bm      F#m      G
American Dreams, American lies
      D         Bm                           F#m
We’re trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
G              Bm
So give me the truth
                   F#m
Don’t tell me your lies
G                 D  Bm
Cause it’s harder to breathe
                   D
When you’re buried alive
   A        D

Cause I’m not sleeping in

American Dreams, American lies
      D                                      G
We’re trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
