North American Dream

B
Whoa-oh
C#m
Whoa-oh
G#m         B
Whoa-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 1]

You can take a day or two, but no more than that
            C#
We've got a real strict schedule to meet
                           G#m
Don’t you want to keep the lights on in that house?
                       B
Don't you want to keep shoes on your kid's feet?
                F#
See, they don’t care if you're sick

They don't care if you're ill
          C#m
They need you to do things nobody else will
              B
‘Cause if the lights go out
                            F#
That American dream moves on

[Pre-Chorus]
        G#m            B
Are you tired of living
               C#
Two weeks at a time?
        G#m                 B
Working paycheck to paycheck
         C#
Fighting just to stay alive

[Chorus]
           E  B                  F#
As it goes on, you're left behind
          E                    B
To wonder what life could have been like
            F#
If you were born in a different time
                    B       C#m
So don't let it die, whoa-oh
       G#m            F#
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
B                        C#m
Can we talk about timing?

Or should we talk about love?
G#m
Maybe we should just walk away
    B
And pretend it ain't in our blood
                     C#m
‘Cause either you're something or you’re nothing
       E
You’re broken or you're loving
         B
Well, if loving means nothing
                                 F#
Being broken meant something to me

Being broken meant something to me
C#m
Whoa-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
        G#m            B
Are you tired of living
               C#
Two weeks at a time?
        G#m                 B
Working paycheck to paycheck
         C#
Fighting just to stay alive

[Chorus]
            E B                  F#
As it goes on, you’re left behind
          E                    B
To wonder what life could have been like
            F#
If you were born in a different time
                   B
So don't let it die

G# G#m E

[Bridge]
                     G#                  B
‘Cause either you're something or you're nothing
       C#m              B
You’re broken or you're loving
              G#                  C#
Either you're something or you're nothing
             E                B
You're broken, you're broken, whoa-oh
C#m     G#m           B
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
(ones strum)
       G#m             B
Are you tired of living
              C#
Two weeks at a time?
        G#m                 B
Fucking paycheck to paycheck
         C#
Fighting just to stay alive

[Chorus]
            E B                  F#
As it goes on, you're left behind
          E                    B
To wonder what life could have been like
            F#
If you were born in a different time
                     E       B       F#
So don't let it die, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
                  E   B        F#
Don't let it die, whoa-oh-oh-oh
