Verse 1
      D                       Dmaj7           G
She's up before the sun, on the run, another dollar, another day, another cup of coffee
D                           G
Thank you, Lord, for giving me one more
          D                        Dmaj7        G
She still leans on her dreams but it seems, sometimes she's the only one who still believes 
    Bm                   A                    G 
That life is hard, so she takes it on with an American Heart 

Chorus
      D                                      G
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody
   D                      G
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky
   D         F#            Bm          A         G
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard
                               D      D/F# G    D D/F# G
And you can't break an American heart

Verse 2
        D                       Dmaj7         G
From the small town Friday night lights to the Broadway neon burning up bright
     D                     G
We're all the same and it's in our veins
  D                        Dmaj7     G
A spirit that you can't keep down, a fire inside that'll never burn out
Bm                A          G
  If you are the owner of an American heart

Chorus
       E                                     A
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody
   E                      A
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky
   E         G#          C#m          B         A
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard
                              C#m   B/D#  E  A    C#m   B/D#  E  A
And you can't break an American heart 
          C#m   B/D#  E  A
An American heart 

Chorus
       E                                     A
And it beats like a drum down in New Orleans, sings like a Motown melody
   E                      A
It dreams like California, bigger than the Texas sky
   E         G#          C#m          B         A
It bleeds, it scars, but it shines when times get hard
                                 C#m   B/D#  E  A                E   E/G# A
And you can't break, you can't break               an American heart
          E     E/G# A    E  E/G# A           E
An American heart,                an American heart
God bless America, land of the free, God bless America
