Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - American X

Cm
close your eyes to the world that you see
F Fm
and open wide to the one in your dreams
Cm
theres nothing left that you wanna believe
F Fm
foreign eyes have been torn at the seams
Cm
youd save yourself from a world without sin
F Fm
you’re born again with a means to an end
Cm
drawing lines in the palm of your hand
F Fm
your holding on to all that youve planned

Cm
theres nothing here that is left to be saved
F Fm
take a bow to the warrior state
Cm
you throw yourself to the perilous static
F Fm
you shut your eyes but the death is romantic
Cm
youve sold your soul but its only a fake
F Fm
youd kill yourself for a piece of the take
Cm
you lose your mind in a world that leaves nothin
F Fm
you’re holding on for asylum , reaching for air

A#
its all you want , you know youll never forget
Cm G# F
your open arms , they only seem to surrender
A#
its all you know , you know youll never regret
Cm G# F
your open arms , they only seem to surrender all that matters

( verse/Chorus chords repeated )

no one needs what they think to survive
pulled inside with an appetite blind
you feast your eyes on american se
xyou sleep in shores of american bliss
growing wings from the sorrowless excess
your frozen eyes cut the chord to their last depth
you share your young with the wolves of a nation
theres nothing left til you pray for salvation

its all you want , you know youll never forget
your open arms , they only seem to surrender all that matters
its all you know , you know youll never regret
your open arms , they only seem to surrender all that matters
