American Nights Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]On these American nights
That's when we all go out
That's when we feel [Bm]alive
That's when the tops [D]go down
I break a dollar at the bar
And make the jukebox sing
So tell Rosie what you [Bm]want
The first round's on [A]me
We're gonna light up these [G]streets baby
[A]Shake the dust off all your dre[G]ams baby
[A]We're gonna lose a little sle[G]ep baby
[A]On these American nig[D]hts!

[Verse 2]
[D]
Under the stars and stripes
We live and die with our friends
There's nothing we can't [Bm]do
As soon as that sun [D]sets
I'm gonna find me a girl
I'm gonna try to make her laugh
And when she gives me that [Bm]look
I'm gonna take her [A]hand
'Cause everything about [G]her reminds me
[A]Of all the broken roman[G]ce behind me
[A]I'm giving love another cha[G]nce to find me

[Verse 3]
[A]On these American nig[D]hts!

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Daylight please don't
come up any [G]higher
[D]Cause we've got mai[G]n str[D]eet
lit up like [Bm]a fire[D][G][D][G]
[D]And [Em]nothing compares
to [F#m]breathing the air
When [G]I'm back in my [A]hometown

[Verse 5]
[Em]Someday my kids will [F#m]run like I did
On these [G]streets and old [A]playgrounds!

[Verse 6]
[A]
I wanna drive all [D]night
Turn up the radio loud
Left hand in [Bm]the breeze
I shut the whole world [A]out
So come and ride with [G]me baby

[Verse 7]
[A]I'm saving you the front sea[G]t bab[A]y
Feeling nothing but [G]free baby
[A]On these American nig[D]hts!
Ooooohhhhh ooooohhhhh
Ooooohhhhh ooooohhhhh
On [Bm]these Amer[A][Asus4][A][D]
[Bm]ic a[Asus4]n nights![A][D]
