American Heart

[D] [G]  2x

She s [D]up before the sun, on the run
Another [G]dollar, another day, another cup of coffee
[Bm]Thank you Lord [D]  for giving [G]me one more
She still [D]leans on her dreams but it seems
Some[G]times she s the only one who still believes
That [Bm]life is hard, so she [G]takes it on
With an A[Bm]merican [G]heart

And it [D]beats like a drum down in New Orleans
[G]Sings like a Motown melody
It [D]dreams like California
[G]Bigger than the Texas sky
It [D]bleeds
It [F#]scars
But it [Bm]shines when times get [G]hard
              [Bm]    [G]             [D]   ([D] [G])
And you can t break   an American heart

From the [D]small town Friday night lights
To the [G]Broadway neon burning up bright
We re [Bm]all the same [D]  and it s [G]in our veins
A [D]spirit that you can t keep down
A [G]fire inside that ll never burn out
[Bm]If you are, the [G]owner of
An A[Bm]merican [G]heart

Cause it [E]beats like a drum down in New Orleans
[A]Sings like a Motown melody
It [E]dreams like California
[A]Bigger than the Texas sky
It [E]bleeds
It [G#]scars
But it [C#m]shines when times get [A]hard
And you can t [C#m]break   an A[A]merican [E]heart [C#m]
An A[A]merican [E]heart

Cause it [E]beats like a drum down in New Orleans
[A]Sings like a Motown melody
It [E]dreams like California
[A]Bigger than the Texas sky
It [E]bleeds
It [G#]scars
But it [C#m]shines when times get [A]hard
And you can t break[C#m]
You can t [A]break [C#m]
An [A]American [E]heart[C#m]
An [A]American [E]heart[C#m]
An [A]American h[E]eart
