[Intro]
Am Am Bm
[Verse 1]
AmToo little to do for too long and
CToo little of you for my songs
FTo be anything but lonely
DmIn a couple weeks, you'll Eown me
AmToo tired to sleep, good morning
CAnd I'm too wired to heed the warning
FThat there's danger in the summer
DmThe calm before the tEhunder
[Chorus]
AmI'm an American cliché
Cmaj7Missing a girl in a French café
Fmaj7I say, "Goddamn, you're beautifuFl"Em  
DmYou're blushing, duck ouEt of frame
AmI'm an American cliché
Cmaj7Missing a girl in a French café
Fmaj7I say, "How'd I get along, so long witEhout you"
AmAnd you say, "Same"
[Verse 2]
Am C Am Bm
AmGraveyard, Jim Morrison, forever
CIn my arms, they'll have to bury us together
F'Cause I'm never gonna let you go
DmUh-oh, uh-Eoh
AmMissed my flight, making love in the morning
CWhile everybody else was boarding
FThey love to say they told you so
DmI know, I know, EI know
[Chorus]
AmI'm an American cliché

FDo something I'm not allowed to
EI want you
