Dead Poet Society - American Blood

Capo 3

[Intro]
G
I don’t wanna go out tonight
Bm D
Find a show on a Saturday night
G
I’d rather stay here and wait
Bm D
Sit alone, playing video games
G
I got enough friends
Bm D
No one else needs to know my name
G
And yeah, I know my face is aging
Bm D
But it’s okay, yeah it’s okay

[PreChorus]
G
But it’s so cold

Humanity grows old
Bm D
The man in me soaks up American Blood
G
And I’m so scared

That all of my worst fears
Bm D
Have followed me out here, I’m mad at myself

[Chorus]
G
I try to keep my head up, my head up
Bm D
I try to keep myself from feeling this way
G
I’m tired and I’m fucked up, in this rest stop
Bm D
It’s only in my head but it’s not gonna change

[Verse]
G
It goes on and on, so electric
Bm D
Like a full-fledged panic inside
G
And I know you said, that it’s not my fault
Bm D
But the truth is just so easy to hide

[Chorus]
G
I gotta keep my head up, my head up
Bm D
I gotta keep myself from feeling ashamed
G
I’m tired and I’m fucked up and I can’t stop
Bm D
It’s only in my head but it’s not gonna change

G Bm D
(x2)

[Bridge]
Bm
Well, it burns slow

Somewhere inside and nobody knows that I’m here

Stoned
A
Drinking alone and out of control

[Chorus]
G
I gotta keep my head up, my head up
Bm D
I gotta keep myself from feeling ashamed
G
I’m crying ‘cause I’m fucked up, baby I know that
Bm D A
It’s only in my head but it’s not gonna change

G Bm A
(x2)
G
