American Life Chords by Madonna

[Intro]
N.C.                       
Do I have to change my name
N.C.              
Will it get me far
N.C.                     
Should I lose some weight
                     F#m F#7
Am I gonna be a star ■   ■  


[Verse]
                F#7
I tried to be a boy
                F#7 
I tried to be a girl
                F#7 
I tried to be a mess
                  C#m 
I tried to be the best
                 C#m  
I guess I did it wrong
                        B7  
That's why I wrote this song
             B7         
This type of modern life
          B7
Is it for me
             B7         
This type of modern life
          F#m  F#7
Is it for free ■  
F#m              F#7
So I went into a bar
            F#7     
Looking for sympathy
         F#7    
A little company
                  C#7   
I tried to find a friend
C#m                  
It's more easily said
                     B7  
It's always been the same
             F#m        
This type of modern life
           F#m
Is not for me 
             F#m        
This type of modern life
           F#m 
Is not for free


[Chorus]
C#m          
American life
F#m                 C#m   C#m7
I live the American dream ■   
    C#m     Bm7                 C#m7
You are the ■   best thing I've seen
Bm7                C#m  
You are not just a dream
                F#7  
I tried to stay ahead
                   F#7
I tried to stay on top
                    F#m 
I tried to play the part
              C#m   
But somehow I forgot


[Verse]
                   C#7
Just what I did it for
                 Bm  
And why I wanted more
B7           F#m        
This type of modern life
          F#m
Is it for me 
             F#m        
This type of modern life
          F#m 
Is it for free
   F#m                     
Do I have to change my name
               F#7
Will it get me far
F#m                      
Should I lose some weight
           F#7  F#m 
Am I gonna be a star


[Chorus]
F#m7     C#m 
American life
F#m7                C#m  
I live the American dream
Bm7                         C#m 
You are the best thing I've seen
                   C#m7 
You are not just a dream
C#m          
American life
Bm C#m Bm C#m F#7

[Verse]
           F#7     
I tried to be a boy
         F#m      
Tried to be a girl
         F#m      
Tried to be a mess
         F#m        
Tried to be the best
         F#m          
Tried to find a friend
         F#m       
Tried to stay ahead
           F#m        
I tried to stay on top
                       F#m 
Do I have to change my name
               F#m
Will it get me far
                   F#m   
Should I lose some weight
     F#m            
Am I gonna be a star
   F#m     
Uh uh uh uh
    F#m                 
I'm drinkin' a soy latte
               F#m   
I get a double shotie
   F#m                       
It goes right through my body
                 F#m      
And you know I'm satisfied
  F#m                 
I drive my mini cooper
                F#m       
And I'm feeling superduper
        F#m                  
Yo they tell me I'm a trooper
                 F#m      
And you know I'm satisfied
     F#m             
I do yoga and Pilates
                        F#m    
And the room is full of hotties
       F#m                      
So I'm checking out their bodies
                 F#m      
And you know I'm satisfied
    F#m                    
I'm diggin' on the isotopes
                 F#m         
This metaphysics shit is dope
F#m                             
And if all this can give me hope
             F#m      
You know I'm satisfied
        F#m                 
I got a lawyer and a manager
               F#m 
An agent and a chef
      F#m                 
Three nannies an assistant
                   F#m
And a driver and a jet
  F#m                 
A trainer and a butler
                   F#m 
And a bodyguard or five
  F#m                   
A gardener and a stylist
                 F#m      
Do you think I'm satisfied
                               F#m        
I'd like to express my extreme pointofview
                                  F#m
I'm not a Christian and I'm not a Jew
                                 F#m  
I'm just living out the American dream


[Chorus]
                                    F#m          
And I just realized that nothing is what it seems
     F#m                   
Do I have to change my name
           F#m      
Am I gonna be a star
     F#m                   
Do I have to change my name


[Outro]
     F#m            
Am I gonna be a star
     F#m                   
Do I have to change my name


[End]
