Make It In America

      G                     Cadd9
Got a one-way ticket down a two way street
        G                           Cadd9
Got the wind in my hair and there's dust on my feet
         Em7
I'm just trying
   C
To make it in America

G


[Verse 2]

     (G)                    Cadd9
Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt
      G                     Cadd9
Faded nine-teen eighty-five from a Stones concert
        Em7
And I'm dying
   C
To make it in America

G

[Verse 3]

        G                       Cadd9
And I'm singing the words to my favourite song
         G                   Cadd9
With the rag-top down and my glasses on
        Em7
and I'm driving
C
Straight through America

D

[Chorus]

                  G
I wanna taste the sun
                         C
'Cause baby, I'm born to run
                   Em              D
I've gotta feeling that I'm not the only one
G                    C
I, I wanna show some skin
                        Em7
'Cause baby, I need the ocean
                   Am7            G
You can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
C
I, wanna make it in America
D
make it in America


[Verse 4]

     G             Cadd9
I can see my star sunset and vine
       G                  Cadd9
Gonna carve my name in the Hollywood sign
        Em          C
Yeah I gotta, gotta make it in America
       G                    Cadd9
See me wearing a smile even if I'm broke
        G                        Cadd9
I'll be singing the words from a song i wrote
       Em        C
And I called it, Make it in America

D

[Chorus]

                  G
I wanna taste the sun
                         C
'Cause baby, I'm born to run
                   Em              D
I've gotta feeling that I'm not the only one
G                    C
I, I wanna show some skin
                        Em7
'Cause baby, I need the ocean

                   Am7            G
You can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
C
I, wanna make it in America
D
make it in America


[Middle 8]

      Em7                     C
I can feel the sweat dripping down my face
      Em7                 C
I can hear my heart as it starts to race
         Am7                        C
Yeah some-times this world's such a lonely place
          D
If I just push on I know that


[Chorus]

                  G
I wanna taste the sun
                         C
'Cause baby, I'm born to run
                   Em              D
I've gotta feeling that I'm not the only one
G                    C
I, I wanna show some skin
                        Em7
'Cause baby, I need the ocean
                   Am7            G
You can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
C
I, wanna make it in America
D
