Great American Dream LYRICS/CHART/CHORDS
 
intro: Eb | Eb | Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb | Ab | Ab |
 
Eb | Eb | Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
Here, where the ghost of harlequins and harlots is
 Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
In this hall once host of whims and varlets in the
Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
days of redder wine and cheaper times, you know
 Db | Db/C | Eb | Eb | Eb | Eb |
they taught the lesson- love
 
 Eb | Eb | Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
Tonight, I sang and screamed and moaned my heavy mind away
 Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
What’s left in heart kept track of all our passing time
 Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
They closed the doors, and locked me up inside
 Db | Db/C | Eb | Eb | Eb | Eb |
Alone, Still sleeping from the wine
 
Eb | Eb | Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
Then, when lamplight soothed the nighttime images
 Ab | Ab | Eb  | Eb |
Awoke the ghost in time to sip my spillages
 Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
She looked so good- a touch of wishful imagery
 Db | Db/C | Eb | Eb | Eb | Eb |
of mind much less of love
 
Eb | Eb | F | Bbm |
Bought- much like the drink I hold
 F | Bbm |
made up to be consumed
Eb | Eb | F | Bbm |
Sold- just like the tale I told
 F | Bbm | Bbm | Bb | Bb |
She slinks back to her room
 
 Eb  | Eb | Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
She said "Why, if love is timeless and the words are true
 Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
is desire alive today but still refusing you, yet
 Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
I've heard you claim you help the broken hearted too
 Db | Db/C | Eb | Eb | Eb | Eb |
What learned, Sir Lesson Love?"
 
Eb | Eb | Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
I now in the game, am more than merely smitten
 Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
I've been refused and rightly so enlightened
 Ab | Ab | Eb | Eb |
I ask for more, and yet my grip won't tighten
 Db | Db/C | Eb | Eb | Eb | Eb |
Absurd, alas, in love
