Make It in America Chords & Lyrics by Victoria Justice
Make It in America
guitar chords lyrics
This may not be exactly how the song is performed, but I transcribed it
so it sounds good on one guitar and it's pretty easy to play. I'm not
sure if the G#m in the chorus is really that chord or if it's another
B chord, but I liked the variety and the sound of the G#m so that's what
I kept. Hope everyone enjoys.

(INTRO)
E Emaj7 E* Emaj7
(VERSE)
E Emaj7
Got a one way ticket down a 2 way street
E* Emaj7
Got the wind in my hair and there's dust on my feet
Amaj7 E Emaj7
I'm just trying to make it in America
E Emaj7
Only thing to my name is an old t-shirt
E* Emaj7
Faded 1985 from a Stones' concert
Amaj7 E Emaj7
And I'm dying to make it in America
E Emaj7
And I'm singing the words to my favorite song
E* Emaj7
With the rag top down and my glasses on
Amaj7 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 G#m
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 Emaj7
(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
G#m
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
