[C] [Dm]
[F] [C] [G]
[C] [Dm]
[F]
[G] [C] Puts her down behind the fridge
[Dm] We face her down
She [F] runs into my life's Holiday
[C] And I [G] stood too young
He [C] takes her hand in bed
She [Dm] takes his ring, takes his baby hands
[F] Takes him minutes
Takes her [C] nowhere
[G] Left alone, she took take him in her [F] fingers Oh, [C] [G] I
Imagine [C] once a young American Young American [Dm] Young American
[F] Young American Oh, [G] I
Imagine once a young [C] American Young American
She's a [Dm] dog, she's a spice
She's swinging back up on [F] me
She cruises as a bus, as a Ford [C] Mustang
[G] Heaven knows she'd take [C] anything
But the figure
Is tight open [Dm] up in
Shaking nothing, he cuts his [F] hand
Showing nothing, it [C] glows
Like a song she cries
Mirror [G] ball, now this hero's [F] gone
Oh, I
[G]
Imagine once a young [C] American Young American [Dm] Young [F] American Oh, I
[C] Imagine
[G] once a young [C] American
All the way from Washington [Dm] Redwood stairs
At the bottom [F] floor
Live for just these twenty [C] years
We have [G] to die for the fifty more
[F] Oh, [G] I
Imagine once a [C] young American Young American [Dm] Young American Young American [F] Oh, I
[C]

[F] The bills you have to [C] pay
[E] For even yesterday
[D]
[Em] [F]
[G] Imagine [A] [D]
once a young American
[Em] You and your idol
Singing both sides [G] of a Neverland everywhere
[D] Not a [A] drop left in the ghetto
[D] Well, well, would you
Carry a [Em] razor
Just in case, in case [G] of depression
Brushing up your hands Versus [D] survivors
Blushing at [A] her, devil [D] cheaters
Ain't that close to love
[Em] Ain't that close to love
[G] Ain't no retour
My heart's been broken
[A] Just like you [G] did
All [A] night to warn the young [D] American Young American [Em] Young American
What young [G] American Oh, I
[D] You [A] warn the young [D] American
You're in the bed, you're in the hot [G] tub
Pimps got a cab, ladies got the bags
Black stars, black stars
So great, lines got [A] dabs
Look at my [D] handshake
And the news [Em] today, oh
I got the speed, you got the [G] beat Oh
Ain't no hand [Bm] [A] to say no [D] more
Ain't no retort to be heard without [Em] your
Ain't no reprimand that the Young American
[G] Ain't the one damn song
That can make me
Break down and cry
Oh All night
[Bm] [A] To warn the young [D] American Young American [Em] Young American
What young [G] American
Oh, all night
[D] [A] To warn the young [D] American
I warn you
[Em] What young American
You warn what I warn
[G] I warn you
I [D] [A] warn you [D] Young American Young [Em] American Young [G] American
Oh, all night
[B] That I warn the young [D] American
