[Verse 1]
[E]
Hot cherry on Friday night
[E]
When the sun goes down my spine
[E]
I put an axe in my baby's head
[E]
I'm gonna end up doing time

[Chorus]
[A]                       [E]
She looks so good in red
[B]                                [E]
American nightmare running scared
[E]
She shoulda been hard to get
[E]
She shoulda been hard to kill
[E]
She shoulda been hard to kill, hey
[A]                       [E]
I had to split your head
[B]                               [E]
American nightmare running scared

[Verse 2]
[B]
I'm heading down the highway
[E]
Sign has three inverted nines
[B]
If the law don't get me the devil will
[E]
But not without a fight

[Chorus]
[A]                        [E]
Does this highway never end
[B]                                [E]
American nightmare running scared
[B]                                [E]
American nightmare running scared

[Verse 3]
[B]
I'm heading down the highway
[E]
Sign has three inverted nines
[B]
If the law don't get me the devil will
[E]
But not without a fight

[Chorus]
[A]                              [E]
This highway never fucking ends
[B]                               [E]
American nightmare running scared
[B]                                    [E]
Hey, American nightmare running scared
