American X Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CmClose your eyes to the world that you see

FAnd open wide to the one in your Fmdreams

CmThere’s nothing left that you wanna believe

FForeign eyes have been torn at the sFmeams

CmYou’d save yourself from a world without sin

FYou're born again with a means to an eFmnd

CmDrawing lines in the palm of your hand

FYour holding on to all that yFmou’ve planned

CmThere’s nothing here that is left to be saved

FTake a bow to the warrior sFmtate

CmYou throw yourself to the perilous static

FYou shut your eyes but the death is romantFmic

CmYou’ve sold your soul but it’s only a fake

FYou’d kill yourself for a piece of tFmhe take

CmYou lose your mind in a world that leaves nothin’

FYou're holding on for asylum, reaFmching for air

A♯It’s all you want, you know you’ll never forget

CmYour open arms, they only seem to surrender G♯ F

A♯It’s all you know, you know you’ll never regret

CmYour open arms, they only seem to surrender all thatG♯ matters F

(Verse/chorus chords repeated)

No one needs what they think to survive

Pulled inside with an appetite blind

You feast your eyes on American sex

You sleep in shores of American bliss

Growing wings from the sorrowless excess

Your frozen eyes cut the chord to their last depth

You share your young with the wolves of a nation

There’s nothing left ‘til you pray for salvation

It’s all you want, you know you’ll never forget

Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters

It’s all you know, you know you’ll never regret

Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters
