Band - American Roulette lyrics

Gm c gm c He was born in the belly of the country, over east of eden, yeah. Gm c gm c Confused by the big city blues, he didn't know who's life he's leading, no. Cm f cm f Put yourself behind the wheel and see if you can get that feel, oh; Gm c gm c Move faster by night, yeah, move faster by night, mm. Am d am d The windows were all shattered, and the body was all battered Eb f gm American roulette, stake your life upon it. Eb f gm American roulette, same eyes, same eyes. Eb f gm7 American roulette. Gm c Take the boy and put him in a mansion; paint the windows black. Gm Give him all the women that he wants, put a monkey on his back. Cm f cm7 f All of your so called friends, a-take you where the sidewalk ends, i said. Gm7 Can't sleep at night, no, can't sleep at night, mm. A d a d God please save his soul; he was the king of rock and roll. Eb f gm American roulette, stake your life upon it, Eb f gm American roulette, same eyes, same eyes. Eb f gm7 American roulette. Gm c They say you didn't have a chance in hell, for the american dream. Gm There's a thousand young blondes out there try'n to make itto the silver screen. Cm f cm7 f But she had the walk, the look, the heart that shook the world, read about it. Gm7 Some like it hot, boy. some like it cool, mm. A d a d Too much for her to handle, another scandal, she burned the candle. Eb f gm American roulette, stake your life upon it, Eb f gm American roulette, same eyes, same eyes. Eb f gm7 American roulette. (after soloing) A d a d Say a prayer for the lost generation, who spin the wheel out of desperation. Eb f gm American roulette, stake your life upon it, Eb f gm American roulette, same eyes, same eyes. Eb f gm7 American roulette.
