Make It In America

• G

Capo 2 

Intro: G Cadd9 (2x) 

Verse 1:
 
      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 

Pre-Chorus:
 
        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 


 D            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 (ring out) 
make it in america

Repeat verse chords to these lyrics 

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 wearing 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 

 
      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
