Intro: G Verse 1 G There’s a strip mall round the corner, lease signs in every window. C G Am And fear in almost all my neighbors’ eyes. G There’s a disconnect between the politicians and the people C G Am We know half the time they’re gonna lie. C Em D Aren’t we all on the same side? Chorus C There’s no us and there’s no them. We’re all out there on a limb. Em There’s no Kings and there’s no Queens D Just a pot of melted dreams C What makes us so quick to fight? Bm No one wants to compromise Am Bm C Sometimes it’s all so hard to understand. Em C Aren’t we all American? G Verse 2 G We can’t agree on nothing, even as our country C G Am Is hanging in the balance by a thread. G There’s bonuses for bosses and bankers hiding losses C Bm Am While our leaders close their eyes and turn their heads, C Em D Aren’t we all on the same side? Bridge G What if my son’s class was closing down D my brothers house the bank sold out, Em My father’s farm we could not save. C My mother lost her job today G My wife just said tuition’s more D Another year we can’t afford C So our daughter’s dropping out of school Bm If this was me, what would I do? C Chorus C There’s no us and there’s no them. We’re all out there on a limb. Em There’s no Kings and there’s no Queens D Just a pot of melted dreams Bm C What makes us so quick to fight? Bm No one wants to compromise Am Bm C Sometimes it’s all so hard to understand. G Am G C Get back to being neighbors, family, and friends, Em D C Aren’t we all American?
