American Heart

• D

Intro: D   G 

Verse 1:
 
      D                       Dmaj7           G 
She's up before the sun, on the run, another dollar, another day, another cup of coffee 
D                           G 
Thank you, Lord, for giving me one more 
          D                        Dmaj7        G 
She still leans on her dreams but it seems, sometimes she's the only one who still believes  
    Bm                   A                    G  
That life is hard, so she takes it on with an American Heart  


      D                                      G 
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody 
   D                      G 
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky 
   D         F#            Bm          A         G 
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard 
                               D      D/F# G    D D/F# G 
And you can't break an American heart 



Verse 2:
 
        D                       Dmaj7         G 
From the small town Friday night lights to the Broadway neon burning up bright 
     D                     G 
We're all the same and it's in our veins 
  D                        Dmaj7     G 
A spirit that you can't keep down, a fire inside that'll never burn out 
Bm                A          G 
  If you are the owner of an American heart 

 
       E                                     A 
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody 
   E                      A 
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky 
   E         G#          C#m          B         A 
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard 
                              C#m   B/D#  E  A    C#m   B/D#  E  A 
And you can't break an American heart  
          C#m   B/D#  E  A 
An American heart  


       E                                     A 
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody 
   E                      A 
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky 
   E         G#          C#m          B         A 
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard 
                                 C#m   B/D#  E  A                E   E/G# A 
And you can't break, you can't break               an American heart 
          E     E/G# A    E  E/G# A           E 
An American heart,                an American heart
