Eliza Gilkyson - An American Boy
INTRO: C F C G C
F C G
I posted pictures on my Facebook site
C F C
A shooting star in a long dark night
G Am
A lonely kid beneath the basement light
F Am C
With thunder in his hands
F C G
My parents wonder if I'm doing alright
C F C
They keep the gun case locked up tight
G Am F
With the key hanging there in plain sight
Am F
While I make my plans
C G
It won't be long before I come undone
C F
There's no tomorrow for a wayward son
C G
What will they say then 'bout their pride and joy
F Am C
Their American boy?
F C G
It's not the world they always said it would be
C F C
A shining pearl waiting there for me
G Am
A golden girl who would care for me
F Am C
A future I could own
F C G
They messed my mind with every kind of med
C F C
Now voices whisper in my head
G Am
Telling me softly I'll be better off dead
F Am F
But I'm not going alone
C G
It won't be long before I come undone
C F
I'm gonna blow my world to kingdom come
C G
Once I was someone's only pride and joy
F Am C
An American boy, American boy
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G C G Am F Am F
C G
It won't be long before my time has come
C F
I won't be sorry for this thing I've done
C G
Maybe somewhere there's everlasting joy
F Am C
For an American boy, American boy
F C G
I built a bomb down in the basement light
C F C
Went to the prom on a Saturday night
G Am F
I didn't blow it 'cause the time's not right
Am
But it's close at hand
