Words and Music

CAPO I

(Intro   C  Cm9   C  C  Cm9  C)

C
I used to see you on every T.V.,  your smiling face looked back at me.
F								          C
I used to see you on every T.V.,  your smiling face looked back at me.
G
Then they caught you with the girl next door, People's money piled on the
floor,
Dm                                               F
                                                 C  Cm9  C  etc.
Accusations that you try to deny, Revelations and rumors begin to fly.
C
Now you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above.
F   								        C
Now you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above.
G
Reporters crowd around your house going through your garbage like a pack of
hounds,
Dm                                                  F
                                                          C
Speculating what they may find out, it don't matter now, you're all washed
up.
G					C  G					    C    G
You wake up in the middle of the night, your sheets are wet and your face is
white.
G                   			    C     G					        Dsus2
You tried to make a good thing last.   How could something so good, go bad,
so fast?
 C                                             Dm
American dream, American dream
C                                              Dm    F
American dream, American dream.
C
Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and
strong.
F											C
Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and
strong.
G
Reporters crowd around your house, going through your garbage like a pack of
hounds,
Dm				         F
Speculating what they may find out, it don't matter now, you're all washed
up.
C
Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and
strong.
         				          F
American dream, American dream.  Don't know when things went wrong,
					           C
Might have been when you were young and strong.   American dream, American
dream.
