Yeah I'm [D]stealing cigarettes  Selling them [A]off to friends for rent
Plus a [B]paycheck and still in debt  I'm asking, how [G]could it be?
I [D]know they know I'm beneath them  Even homeless [A]assholes know my name
Now it's [B]Urban Flight or cell for the night  Y'know it's [G]all the same

One can [A]tell themselves About when [G]going gets tough
But [A]determination Just [G]ain't enough
When [A]over-time defines your [G]life

This American [D]Me         [G]                 [A]

same as first):

[D]Tradition tells us home own  But the [A]timecards saying no go
Now the [B]suits are talking foreclose  From sea to [G]shining sea
Time [D]was a war time economy  Was a [A]silver lining to tragedy
But even [B]those with homes are now those alone  In the [G]land of the free

I [A]asked for nothing And I [G]got it in spades
[A]Worked for a living and I [G]earned a cage
Now they [A]say I look old for my [G]age

This American [D]me        [G]               [A]

I'm pretty sure that's right. Feel free to correct if not!
