1. The night's alive with wind and fire,
Am
we
telegraph our heart's desire
F G
- Am
through
the night with our eyes.
Am D
Wheels are turnin', fast and
hard,
Am
hearts
are burnin' on the boulevard,
F G
hear
them pound, young and proud,
Am
it's
the American Heartbeat.
F G Am
Chart the stars and head out
for the action,

hit
the streets and find some satisfaction.

It's the American heartbeat, the American heartbeat,

the American heartbeat.

Am
the
lights grow hot at the midnight's closin'
F G - Am
in at
last, it comes so fast.
Am D
Poundin' harder as the
midnight's striking,
Am
it
hits us like a bolt of lightning,
F G
deeper
down it's the sound
Am
of
the American heartbeat.
F G Am
Chart the stars and head out
for the action,
F
C - E
hit
the streets and find some satisfaction.
