Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

(VERSE)

Got a one way ticket down a 2 way street

 Got the wind in my hair and there's dust on my feet

 I'm just trying to make it in America

 Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt

 Faded 1985 from a Stones' concert

 And I'm dying to make it in America

 And I'm singing the words to my favorite song

 With the rag top down and my glasses on

 And I'm driving straight through America

(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, yeah baby I need the ocean

 And you can't stop me now I've got my heart in motion

I want to make it in America, make it in America

(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)

 I can feel the sweat dripping down my face

 I can hear my heart as it starts to race

 Yeah sometimes this world's such a lonely place

 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
