.....Dmaj7......C#m7.Bm7.................C#m7......D#m7...........C#m7..Bm7
It’s too sweet, like candy, but it’s the kind that rots your teeth
Now I remember that sundress and your flowered sweater in the cold
But when I went inside you went with him
And I told myself it was too much heaven just to see you walking into a 7-11
And I’ll let you believe what you want to believe but it was never up for grabs to go
Now work won’t let me see the sun
And I won’t have no summer fun
Sometimes I think that you’re the one
And then I elope with my bike
And you never really knew
And friends are the hardest things
But what’s a non-believer to do
Except for sit and watch it go away
(chorus)
Erik and Angie, American lovers, fighting in through, now you’re in your 20’s
And everyone knows ‘cause I get drunk too much, well I’ve got my own American way
And it’s a big-mouth today
Loosen up, uh huh, Erik and Angie
