C            G          Em
We knew each other when we were very young
C            G              Em
High school sweethearts, or something American
C           G           Em
Now we've become old, I only see photos
C            G        Em               C   G   Em
She's what I thought, something American
            C      G    Em
Something American


[Chorus]
    G         Am      C
But you don't call me now
                  G   Am    C
And I don't think too much about you
         G     Am   C
But when she's not around
                   Am
I can feel you're lonely
   Am                            C
Oh, I can feel you're lonely somehow


[Interlude]
G  Em


[Verse 2]
C         G            Em
  I'm not nice like her

Won't wear white like her
C            G             Em
  Don't live life with the pages mapped out
C         G          Em
  No, I'm not perfect

But then no one is
C           G            Em
  We're all reaching for something American


[Chorus]
    G         Am      C
But you don't call me now
                  G   Am    C
And I don't think too much about you
         G     Am   C
But when she's not around
                   Am
I can feel you're lonely


[Bridge]
               Em
I can feel you all night
      C        G
In my dreams I find
    Em
The stars align
         C      G
And they all collide
         Em
And it's you and I
    C       G
Oh, back in time,
   B7       C
it feels so right


[Chorus]
    G         Am      C
But you don't call me now
                  G   Am    C
And I don't think too much about you
         G     Am   C
But when she's not around
                   Am
I can feel you're lonely, oh

G         Am      C
You don't call me now
                  G   Am    C
And I don't think too much about you
         G     Am   C
But when she's not around
                   Am
I can feel you're lonely, oh
Am                           C
I can feel you're lonely somehow
