Em G D
Mmm.....
[Verse]
Em G D
We broke down trying to leave town
Em G D
Flying down the road to change
Em G D
We were born to run, Cali here we come
Em G D
Scared from nowhere USA
Em G D
Say goodbye to white picket fences
Say hello to palm trees and benzes
Em G D
They say you have to fall to have it all
(Mmm....)
Em G D
Uh, we'll we don't want two kids and a wife
I don't want a job I just want a life
Em G D
They say the underdogs rise
In my mind you''ll fall
[Chorus]
Em G D
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
Em G D
'Cuz Jack left Diane thirty years ago
Em G D
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
Em G D
So tell me what ever happened to the American dream
[Verse]
Em G D
I know a girl I met her last night
Em G D
She was fresh of the plane
Em G
She whispered in my ear,
D Em G D
"Baby come here, I'll do anything to make a name"
Em G D
Baby, take my hand and follow me 'cuz
I don't want to hurt you but he does
Em G D
I just wanna give you some real advice
(Listen baby, Mmm...)
Em G D
Look, never take candy from a stranger
And keep your eyes open for danger
Em G D
'Cuz this right here is a twisted paradise
[Chorus]
Em G D
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
Em G D
'Cuz Jack left Diane thirty years ago
Em G D
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
Em G D
So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
Em G D (x4)
Na na na~ (x2)
*clap*
Na na na~ (x2)
[Chorus]
Em G D
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
Em G D
'Cuz Jack left Diane thirty years ago
Em G D
The world is spinning to fast for you and me
Em G D
So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
Em G D
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
Em G D
So baby, let's live and die before we're getting old
Em G D
You know that nothing is the way it used to be
Em G D
So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
