Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – American X chords

CmClose your eyes to the world that you see
F                                FmAnd open wide to the one in your dreams
CmThere’s nothing left that you wanna believe
F                                   FmForeign eyes have been torn at the seams
Cm You’d save yourself from a world without sin
F                                     FmYou're born again with a means to an end
CmDrawing lines in the palm of your hand
F                            FmYour holding on to all that you’ve planned

CmThere’s nothing here that is left to be saved
F                          FmTake a bow to the warrior state
CmYou throw yourself to the perilous static
F                                         FmYou shut your eyes but the death is romantic
CmYou’ve sold your soul but it’s only a fake
F                                   FmYou’d kill yourself for a piece of the take
CmYou lose your mind in a world that leaves nothin’
F                                FmYou're holding on for asylum, reaching for air

BbIt’s all you want, you know you’ll never forget
Cm                                                   Ab                FYour open arms, they only seem to surrender
BbIt’s all you know, you know you’ll never regret
Cm                                                  Ab                       FYour 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 sex
You 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
There’s nothing left ‘til you pray for salvation

It’s all you want, you know you’ll never forget
Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters
It’s all you know, you know you’ll never regret
Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters
