American Pie

Ebm
I don't like antiques, I want something new
                                     Gb
The world don't like no freaks coming in their rooms
         Db
But this beggar's got a right to choose
          Bb
I'm not a stranger, I'm just like you


[Verse 2]
Ebm
I need love, I don't need money
      Gb
After all these years, baby, I'm still running
Abm                              Ebm
Who's gonna say my want is not a need?
Ebm
I get looks that get so dirty
      Gb
After all these years, baby, it's still hurting
Abm                              Bb
Who's gonna say my want is not a need?


[Chorus]
             Ebm             Gb
Just want my piece of the American pie
         Abm
Got your slice, where is mine?
        Ebm
Lick my fingers on this thing called life
                       Gb
Just a piece of the American pie
          Abm
Break the chains of old beliefs
        Bb7
I'm the flame that you can't unsee


[Verse 3]
Ebm
I don't like antiques, I want something new
                                Gb
I got my dignity, gonna live my truth
         Db
Like the Southern smile I just can't lose
       Bb
Let my light sweep across the room


[Verse 4]
Ebm
You may laugh but it's not funny
Gb
That's the thing that keeps me coming
Abm                              Ebm
Who's gonna say my want is not a need?
Ebm
All those looks that get so dirty
Gb
Lets me know that they're still learning
Abm                              Bb
Who's gonna say my want is not a need?


[Chorus]
             Ebm             Gb

You got your slice, where is mine?
         Ebm
Lick my fingers on this thing called life
                       Gb
Just a piece of the American pie
          Abm7
Break the chains of old beliefs
        Bbm7
I'm the flame that you can't unsee
