Tom: Am
Dm G
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
Am F
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
Dm G Am F
And ooh la la, my American boy
(Singing, singing, singing)
[Verse 1]
Dm G
And I met him back when I was out in Californ-I-A
Am F
He was playing in a band and she was dancing on a stage
Dm G
And he says that I'm the one but she's the one that got away
Am F
And he never knew her real name
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Oh, and I don't mean to get so caught up
G Am F
And insecure 'bout all the things you say (Say, say, say, say)
Dm G
Oh, and I don't mean to be jealous, it's just careless me
Am F
Boy, I must drive you mad
[Chorus]
Singing, singing, singing
Dm G
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
Am F
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
Dm G Am F
And ooh la la, my American boy
Singing, singing, singing
Dm G
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
Am F
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
Dm G Am F
And ooh la la, my American boy
My American boy
[Post-Chorus]
Dm G
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Am F
You know, it's my American boy (Hey!)
Dm G
American, 'merican, 'merican boy
Am F
You know, it's my American boy (Hey!)
[Verse 2]
Dm G
So I wanna know who's on your phone
Am
Making me paranoid, making me bad
F
Making me sad, making me crazy
Dm
Making me feel like I needed to ask
G
I wanna know if you're at home
Am
And if you're at home, baby, are you alone?
F
Are you alone? Answer your phone
Oh, baby, no no no
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Oh, and I don't mean to get so caught up
G Am F
And insecure 'bout all the things you say (Say, say, say, say)
Dm G
Oh, and I don't mean to be jealous, it's just careless me
Am F
Boy, I must drive you mad
[Chorus]
Singing, singing, singing
Dm G
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart (He breaks my heart)
Am F
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
Dm G Am F
And ooh la la, my American boy (Ooh, la, la, la, la)
Singing, singing, singing
Dm G
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart (Yeah)
Am F
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
Dm G Am F
And ooh la la, my American boy (Singing, singing, singing)
My American boy
[Post-Chorus]
Dm G
American, 'merican, 'merican boy (Oh, woah)
Am F
You know, it's my American boy
Dm G
American, 'merican, 'merican boy (Oh)
Am G
You know, it's my American boy
[Bridge]
Dm G
Singing ooh la la, ooh la la
Am F
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
Dm G
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
He do, now you're making me
[Chorus]
Singing, singing, singing
Dm G
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart
Am F
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar, no
Dm G Am F
And ooh la la, my American boy (Ooh, la, la, la, la)
Singing, singing, singing
Dm G
Ooh la la, he breaks my heart (Yeah)
Am F
I know he thinks about her when he plays guitar
Dm G Am F
And ooh la la, my American boy (Boy, boy)
My American boy
[Outro]
Dm G
American, my 'merican, 'merican boy
Am F
You know it's my American boy (Boy)
