  I'm lying wide awake in bed
                                    A
My eyes are closed just like I'm dead
                                  E
My friends all think that I'm a bore
             F#              B
But I don't need them anymore
                             D
I don't get up I don't go out
                           E
I have no life to speak about
                              G
It feels so good to leave the blame with you
        F#
So that's what I do

     B
I'm going down

Come around
A
Watch me when I hit the ground
E
Give me just one fix of your
G        F#  
Sweet american love
B
I'd go blind

Lose my mind
A
Leave the world I know behind
E
Just to feel it one last time
G            A         B
My sweet american love

                            D
My telephone is off the hook
                                   A
My eyes are closed I'm scared to look
                                 E
I bet you're happy now you're free
           F#                B
But what about poor little me
                               D
I draw your picture on the wall
                                 E
My phone is dead and still you call
                        G
My mama asked I told her I'd get by
   F#

     B
I'm going down

Come around
A
Watch me when I hit the ground
E
Give me just one fix of your
G        F#  
Sweet american love
B
I'd go blind

Lose my mind

Just to feel it one last time

My sweet american love

              A                    E
I've kept the things you gave to me
                                B
The air is clear but I can't see
                A                                   G
And a cheerful radio boasts that "love is in the air"
                         F#
But it's so full of shit
               B
A Sony, is it?
                A                 E
So what da you have to leave me for
                              B
Was it my hair was I such a bore
               A
