[Verse]
Dm                          Am7
I'm really sorry about that prick in the parking lot
G                   Am
I wanted this to be our year
         Dm                             Am7
But they cut off supplies and they sent over some guys
          G                                 Am
And those guys they made it perfectly clear

[Pre-Chorus]
F
I know I made them a promise but those are just words
Am
And words can get weird
F                            G
I think they made themselves perfectly clear

[Chorus]
Dm                   Am7
Blood on the carpet, mud on the mattress
G                   G        Am
Waking up with that American Sadness
Dm              Am7
Dead receptors, body limitations
G                   G     Am
Weak handshakes and great expectations
Dm                   Am7
Bountiful chemicals, beautiful kitchens
G                G          Am
So many choices, decisions, decisions
Bb                                           G           Dm
I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true

[Verse]
Dm                    Am7
They disconnected the phone last week
G                      Am
That's how we lost the connection
Dm                     Am7
So we went down to the taverns
G                    Am
And tried to make an impression

[Pre-Chorus]
F
I know I made them a promise but those are just words
Am
And words can get weird
F                            G
I think they made themselves perfectly clear

[Chorus]
Dm                   Am7
Blood on the carpet, mud on the mattress
G                   G        Am
Waking up with that American Sadness
Dm                 Am7
Afternoon matinee, midnight madness
G                            G           Am
Come on everybody, let's get on with the business
Dm                    Am7
Pledge of allegiance, war of attrition
G                G          Am
So many choices, decisions, decisions
Bb                                           G           Dm
I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true
Bb                C N.C.
Conventional wisdom says we should probably cruise

Dm Am7    G 
We should probably cruise
Dm Am7    G 
We should probably cruise
Dm Am7    G 
We should probably cruise
Dm Am7    G 
We should probably cruise

Dm                   Am7
Blood on the carpet, mud on the mattress
G                   G        Am
Waking up with that American Sadness
Dm                   Am7
Chemistry, currency, plastic and magic
G                        G        Am
Everybody rise, we're an American business
Dm                  Am7
Great expectations, A  Fitness
G                G          Am
So many choices, decisions, decisions

I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true
                             G
I saw that whole crew on the news
Bb                        C
We should probably cruise dude

Dm                             Am7
Now all our friends are acting sketchy and lifeless
G                   G        Am
Waking up with that American Sadness
Dm              Am7
Dead receptors, body limitations
G                   G     Am
Weak handshakes and great expectations
Dm                   Am7

G                            G           Am
Come on everybody, let's get on with the business
