F#m D A B5
[Verse 1]
F#m7 F#m
I won’t stop searching 'til I find it
D E
Lost like memories when I was a kid
F#m7 F#m
Is it in crystals or a sound bath
D E
Or the things I dreamt up, but I never did?
F#m7
I’ve looked all over, seeing double
F#m
Do I need a single eye?
Dmaj7 E
I need a mail order guru like those mail order brides
F#m7
They say it’s all in meditation
D E
But when I sit still, I’m afraid what I’ll find
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m7
Am I gonna get better?
D
Did I drink the Kool-Aid?
E
Am I looking in all the wrong places?
E
Is my body just space?
[Chorus]
F#m7 D
I got that American Spirit
E
It's searching for what I can’t find
F#m7 D
I’m looking in holy rivers
E5 E
I pray that she’ll show me a sign
[Verse 2]
F#m7 F#m
If I let go of holding tightly
D E
Will I see Jesus in a stranger tonight?
F#m7 F#m
The devil hides in Coca-Cola
D E
But if I’m high, will I be more qualified?
F#m7 F#m
'Cause in my Elvis Presley record I found the light
D E
And my books say I’m a badass for just $12.99
F#m7 F#m
Maybe I’ll trace it to my family
D E
But maybe some things, should be buried alive
[Chorus]
F#m7 D
I got that American Spirit
E
It's searching for what I can’t find
F#m7 D
I’m looking in holy rivers
E5 E
I pray that she’ll show me a sign
[Post-Chorus]
F#m7
I’m giving up
D
I surrender to you
Bm B
I’m giving up
F#m
I’m giving up
D
I surrender to you
Bm B
I’m giving up
[Bridge]
E A D
Am I gonna get better?
E A Bm
Am I gonna get better?
[Chorus]
F#m7 D
I got that American Spirit
E
It's searching for what I can’t find
F#m7 D
I’m looking in holy rivers
E5 E
I pray that she’ll show me a sign
[Outro]
F#m D
I got that American Spirit (I surrender to you)
B Bm
It's searching for what I can’t find
F#m D
I’m looking in holy rivers (I surrender to you)
B Bm
I pray that she’ll show me a sign
