[Verse 1]
          Em                       
They were married in September back
    G
 in 1969
     Em                        G
They traveled east to India to find 
some peace of mind
     Am
They stood for love and freedom
They were children of their time, wo
 G
 wo

     C
They lived in a world that was cold 
and uncaring
     F
They swore they would change it with
 love and sharing
C                                 
They never lived like their 
      F
parents had done
      C
Their innocence shone like the sun

[Chorus]
         G                     
American hearts, so filled with 
   C
emotion
         G                 C       
American hearts, so easily broken
Am


[Verse 2]
Em                           
Now they've got a family and a 
  G
cottage in the hills
     Em                            
He's always working late to pay the
 G
 mortgage and the bills
    Am                             
And she has trouble sleeping so the
                            G
 doctor gives her pills, wo wo

C             Am            C
Who are these strangers who used to 
be lovers?
F
Now they've got nothing to say to 
each other
C
Too far apart to discuss their 
mistakes
     C
They filed for divorce and it breaks
 their

[Chorus]
         G                     
American hearts, so filled with 
   C
emotion
         G                 C       
American hearts, so easily broken
Am

[Verse]
C             Am         C
Now that it's over, they each go on 
living
F
Never forgetting but somehow 
forgiving
        C
They'll care for their children
C
Protect them with pride
    C
And that's how the dream will 
survive in

[Chorus]
         G                     
American hearts, so filled with 
   C
emotion
         G                 C
American hearts, so easily broken

[Outro]
         G                     
American hearts, so filled with 
   C
emotion
         G                 C
American hearts, so easily broken
