American Trilogy

F C
C/B (basically just a walkdown)



C                         F
I became accoustomed to a kind of social servitude
    C                               F
and no-one, I mean no-one, could accept what I have become
C
Selfish, bitter, weak
     F
Enough to make you sick
    C                                    F
And lately, I've been feeling, there are bits of life I'm stealing
C C/B F
Get me home


[Verse 2]
C
At times it seems I will not help
         F
but it's just that I must save myself
C
From fear that blankets me like mist
       F
on an optimist who insists
C
it's the simple things that crush
       F
and im crying far too much
C
so much so that i'm thinking
        F
my control on life is shrinking


[Chorus]
C
there's a light on in my head
F
and i'm thinking what i said
C
All the freedom in my brain
F                 C C/B F x4
I'm alright now, i'm just thinking what to say


[Verse 3]
C
Sorry dosen't seem to wash
              F
when there's truths around that I have quashed
    C                          F
and no-one, I mean no-one, can depress me more than I can
    C                             F
So does that make me weak, or should that make me sick
    C                                   F
but lately, i've been feeling, that i'm gonna give up breathing


[Chorus 2]
C
there's a light on in my head
F
and i'm thinking what i said
C
All the freedom in my brain
F                 C C/B F x4
I'm alright now, i'm just thinking what to say
C
there's a light on in my head
F
and i'm thinking what i said
C
All the freedom in my brain
F                 C C/B F x4
I'm alright now, i'm just thinking what to say


F
No-one can depress me more than I can
