(distorted guitar)

[Verse 1]
F                 Am
..And I hope you find it
              F
All that you need
                 Am                   G
I hope that you stay young, wild and free
              F
You'll have America

[Verse 2]
                        Am                       F
And I hope that you're better than all of your friends
                  Am                G
I hope that they hold you until the end
               F
You can have America

[Chorus]
                C             G
But all of our time chasing America
F                C             G
..But she never had a hope for me
F             C               G
..All of our time chasing a dream, Mmm..
F                          C        G
Mmm.. A dream that meant nothing to me


[Verse 3]
F                Am                        F
..I see where I found you, where they all lay
            Am                      G
All of the greats they are here to stay
          F
Here in America

[Verse 4]
                     Am
And I hope that you find it
              F
All that you are
                Am       G
I hope that it sets you out
                  F
In the heart of America

[Chorus]
                C             G
But all of our time chasing America
F                C             G
..But she never had a home for me, mmm..
F                C              G
Mmm..All of our time chasing a dream, mmm..
F                        C         G
Mmm..A dream that meant nothing to me

[Outro]
F                 C            G
..And all of the parties they fade
F              C            G
..And yes my looks will go away
F               C            G
..I'll just be left here in America
N.C.
But she never had a home for me
