Bm A Bm Bsus4 D

Bm7 A7 D

[Chorus 1]
Bm      A7   D
Why is it so hard
Bm7     A7   D
To make it in America?
Bm      A7   D
I tried so hard
Bm7     A7   D
to make it in America

[Verse 1]
Bm     A           D
A land of milk and honey
Bm     A           D
A land supposed to be built with love
Bm     A           Bm  Bsus4  D
It takes love and understanding
Bm     A          D
To live and let live
Bm     A           D
I was born in Gainsville, Florida
Bm     A           D
I traveled far and wide
Bm     A           Bm  Bsus4  D
Then I moved to Brooklyn, New York
Bm     A           D
Had hard times, but sometimes I hold on

[Chorus 2]
Bm     A     D
Why is it so hard
Bm     A     D
To make it in America?
Bm     A     Bm Bsus4 D
I tried so hard
Bm7    A7    D
To make it in America

[Verse 2]
Bm     A           D
Seemed like nothing was going right
Bm     A           D
So I said to myself, you gotta move away from here
Bm     A           Bm  Bsus4  D
I went upstate New York, a little town they call Poughkeepsie
Bm     A           D
Got me a job to get away from all that stress
Bm     A           D
But I couldn't get away
Bm     A           D
No matter how far I went
Bm     A           Bm  Bsus4  D
Seemed like nothing's gonna change
Bm     A           D
Everything still remained the same

[Chorus 2]
Bm     A     D
Why is it so hard
Bm     A     D
To make it in America?
Bm     A     Bm Bsus4 D
I tried so hard
Bm7    A7    D
To make it in America

Why is it so hard? (We gotta make a change, in America!)
Bm     A     D
Why is it so hard? (Help me somebody!)
