E5                           E5
Got a one way ticket down a 2 way street
        E5 (2 fr.)                        E5
Got the wind in my hair and there's dust on my feet
         A5                           E5     E5
I'm just trying to make it in America

     E5                      E5
Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt
      E5 (2 fr.)        E5
Faded 1985 from a Stones' concert
        A5                          E5     E5
And I'm dying to make it in America

        E5                       E5
And I'm singing the words to my favorite song
         E5 (2 fr.)                E5
With the rag top down and my glasses on
        A5                               E5
And I'm driving straight through America

(CHORUS)
                  E5
I wanna taste the sun, cause baby I'm born to run
( E5 )             A5                B5
I got a feeling that I'm not the only one

E5
I, I wanna show some skin, yeah baby I need the ocean
( E5 )                   A5               Ab5
And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion
A5
I want to make it in America, make it in America

E5     E5

(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#5
I can feel the sweat dripping down my face
      Ab5
I can hear my heart as it starts to race
         A5
Yeah sometimes this world's such a lonely place
     B5
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
