CWe broke Amdown Gtrying to leave town AmFlying down the Croad to Fchange We were Fborn to Crun, GCali here we come AmEscape from nowhere CUSFA F Say goodbye to Cwhite picket fences G Say hello to palm trees and Benzes C They say you gotta Amfall to have it all F Yeah F We don’t Cwant two kids and a wGife I don’t want a job, I just want a life Am Sometimes the underCdogs rise F
and the mighty fall
(chorus) F This ain’tC the same suGmmer song that you used to know Am ‘CauseC Jack leFft Diane thirty years agoF The world is Cspinning too Gfast for you and me Am So tell me Cwhatever haFppened to the American Dream
(Repeat Verse 1) I know a girl I met her last night She was fresh off the plane She whispered in my ear, “Baby, come here. I’ll do anything to make a name.” Honey, take my hand follow me ‘cause I don’t wanna hurt you but he does I just wanna give you some real advice (Listen baby, mmm) Never take candy from a stranger And keep your eyes open for danger ‘Cause this right here is the twisted paradise (Repeat Chorus) This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know ‘Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago The world is spinning too fast for you and me So tell me whatever happened to the American Dream This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know So baby, let's live and die before we're getting old You know that nothing is the way it used to be So tell me whatever happened to the American Dream Na na na... We were born to run, Cali here we come Gettin' out of here, baby Let's get out of here This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know ‘Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago The world is spinning too fast for you and me So tell me whatever happened to the American Dream This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know So baby, let’s live and die before we’re getting old You know that nothing is the way it used to be So tell me whatever happened to the American Dream Na na na.
