Wiseman/Lowery
CAPO II
INTRO: D A
[A]Some people say there's no American dream
[A]I hear them talkin' but they don't say a thing
[D]I still believe you've to give it to get
[A]Baptize your every aspiration in sweat
[E]I bow my head each night and [D]roll up my sleeves
'Cause [E]buddy it's a long hard road to [D]easy street, where
PRE-CHORUS:
All the cars go [A]fast fast fast, when you step on the [D]gas gas gas
Nobody gonna [E]pass me up goin' down the [A]road
I want a great big [A]house on the hill, every pocket full of [D]hundred dollar bills
Are givin' me a [E]thrill thrill thrill I ain't never [A]known
CHORUS:
Is that [D]askin' too much, am I over the line
Am I [A]way out of touch, tell me am I losin' my mind
I [D]know I won't ever get e[E]nough, is that askin' too [A]much
I never been acused of dreamin' too small
I never saw no shame in wantin' it all
I guess that's just the curse of bein' born poor
No matter what you got you always want more
Everybody wants a lot, a little inside
I'm not the only one with hungry eyes
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
SOLO
PRE-CHORUS (2x)
[E]Now is that askin' too [A]much
OUTRO (2x): A D-E A
