Em In America, in America. Am Bm I poured my sweat in America Em This land is my land Em It's America Am Bm I broke my back for America Em All of money I make Em All of these chances I take Am Bm Just paying my rent in America Em Won't just stand around Am Watch it go down Em Won't just stand around Am Bm Watch it go down [Chorus] Em But maybe it's a long shot C Maybe it's a fantasy Am We've given it all that we've got Bm Maybe we can live a dream Oh, oh Em C Can we build a new life was it ever meant that we... Am Could make it in America Bm Make it in America [Verse 2] Em In America, in America Am Bm They say I'm free in America Em In America, in America Am Bm I still can't breath in America Em Watch them squeezing my neck Em Watch them bullets connect Am We still gon' fight in America Em Won't just stand around Em Can't watch it go down Em Won't just stand around Am Bm Watch it go down [Chorus] Em But maybe it's a long shot C Maybe it's a fantasy Am We've given it all that we've got Bm Maybe we can live a dream Oh, oh Em C Can we build a new life was it ever meant that we... Am Could make it in America Bm Make it in America [Bridge] Em We'll make it in America C We'll make it in America Am We'll make it in America Bm We'll make it in America Em We'll make it in America C We'll make it in America Am We'll make it in America Bm We'll make it in America [Outro] Em In America, in America C My hopes right here in America Am In America, in America Bm My hope, my prayer in America
