Key: D

Introduction: D    G    

                D                                                            D7+                            G  
She's up before the sun, on the run, another dollar, another day, another cup of coffee
D                                                                      G  
Thank you, Lord, for giving me one more
                          D                                                              D7+                    G  
She still leans on her dreams but it seems, sometimes she's the only one who still believes
          Bm                                                 A                                                    G  
That life is hard, so she takes it on with an American Heart
                D                                                                                                    G  
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody
        D                                                         G  
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky
        D                      F#                              Bm                         A                      G  
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard
                                                                                  D              D/F#  G         D  D/F#  G  
And you can't break an American heart
                     D                                                            D7+                      G  
From the small town Friday night lights to the Broadway neon burning up bright
             D                                                      G  
We're all the same and it's in our veins
     D                                                              D7+            G  
A spirit that you can't keep down, a fire inside that'll never burn out
Bm                                         A                         G  
     If you are the owner of an American heart
                  E                                                                                                 A  
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody
        E                                                         A  
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky
        E                      G#                         C#m                         B                      A  
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard
                                                                                C#m      B/D#    E    A         C#m      B/D#    E    A  
And you can't break an American heart
                          C#m      B/D#    E    A  
An American heart
                  E                                                                                                 A  
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody
        E                                                         A  
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky
        E                      G#                         C#m                         B                      A  
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard
                                                                                        C#m      B/D#    E    A                                         E      E/G#A  
And you can't break, you can't break                                      an American heart
                          E            E/G#A          E    E/G#A                             E  
An American heart,                                         an American heart
