American Dreams Chords

   
I'm 99% sure these are the chords to this song. This is my first tab and I
figured it out by ear and I'm pretty sure these are the right chords. 
This is a great song and I love Paul Mcdonald :) 
Comment if you think I'm wrong or missed anything.

Bridge:

C                               E
Dreams don’t come from anyone else

They’re born in the beating deep inside 
          Am
of your chest
                F                                                          
Lord knows they do
        C
And the harder you try the harder you might fall
        E                                  
But you’ll never learn nothing if it
                  Am
aint ever your fault
                         F 
So go on and do what you do  
                             (C, E, Am, F x2)
Come on and make us a move Oooo, oooo yeahh
