I used to see you on every T.V., your smiling face looked back at me.
D A
I used to see you on every T.V., your smiling face looked back at me.
E
Then they caught you with the girl next door, People's money piled on the
floor,
BD
A Am9 A etc.
Accusations that you try to deny, Revelations and rumors begin to fly.
A
Now you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above.
D A
Now you think about reaching out, maybe get some help from above.
E
Reporters crowd around your house going through your garbage like a pack of
hounds,
BD

Speculating what they may find out, it don't matter now, you're all washed
up.
E A E E
You wake up in the middle of the night, your sheets are wet and your face is
white.

You tried to make a good thing last. How could something so good, go bad,
so fast?

Don't know when things went wrong, might have been when you were young and
strong.

Might have been when you were young and strong. American dream, American
dream.
