(VERSE)
E                           E7M
Got a one way ticket down a 2 way street
        E (2 fr.)                        E7M
Got the wind in my hair and there's dust on my feet
         A7M                           E     E7M
I'm just trying to make it in America

     E                      E7M
Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt
      E (2 fr.)        E7M
Faded 1985 from a Stones' concert
        A7M                          E     E7M
And I'm dying to make it in America

        E                       E7M
And I'm singing the words to my favorite song
         E (2 fr.)                E7M
With the rag top down and my glasses on
        A7M                               E
And I'm driving straight through America

(CHORUS)
                  E
I wanna taste the sun, cause baby I'm born to run
( E )             A                B
I got a feeling that I'm not the only one

E
I, I wanna show some skin, yeah baby I need the ocean
( E )                   A               Abm
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
A
I want to make it in America, make it in America

E     E7M

(VERSE - same chords as above)
I can see my star sunset and vine
Gonna carve my name in the Hollywood sign
Yeah I gotta, gotta make it in America

See me wearin' a smile, even if I'm broke
I'll be singing the words from a song I wrote
And I called it Make It In America

(CHORUS - same chords as above)
I wanna taste the sun, cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that I'm not the only one

I, I wanna show some skin, baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America, make it in America

(BRIDGE)
      F#m
I can feel the sweat dripping down my face
      Abm
I can hear my heart as it starts to race
         A
Yeah sometimes this world's such a lonely place
     B
If I just push on I know that

(CHORUS)
I wanna taste the sun, cause baby I'm born to run
I got a feeling that I'm not the only one

I, I wanna show some skin, baby I need the ocean
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
I wanna make it in America, make it in America
