Looking For America

F#m
   Land of the free, home of the 
brave
E6
  But Lord knows that we need plenty
 change
Dmaj7
     ’Cause plenty chains in the 
past leaving deep scars
E6
  But when the sun come down, we 
gonna be stars


[Verse 1]
F#m                               
   The doors are locked where they
            E6
 once stood open
Dmaj7                             
     A wound of fear where we once
       E6
 still hoping
F#m                            
   The shattered glass where the 
            E6
bullets broke in
                    Dmaj7
I’m looking for the place that I was
 born
                  E6
I’m looking for a way to fix what’s 
torn
                 F#m     E6
I’m looking for America   (Yeah, 
yeah you know)
                 Dmaj7             
I’m looking for America (Beaten red
                        E6
 white and blue for the green we 
pursue)

(I’m still lookin’ for you)


[Verse 2]
F#m
   America who are you?
     E6
Underneath the red blue and white? 
(Yeah)
Dmaj7
     America who are you?
         E6
I wonder who you are tonight (Tell 
me who you are)
F#m
   America who are you?
   E6
Is God still on your side?
                Dmaj7
I want to see a nation rise above 
the fear and fight
     E6
That haunts these streets tonight


[Chorus]
                  F#m
(I’m looking for America)
I’m looking for a place to breathe 
      E6
in, a place I could call my home
                  Dmaj7
(I’m looking for America)
I’m looking for the land of freedom,
   E6
 a place I can call my own
                  F#m
(I’m looking for America)

Headlines that I can’t believe in, 
        E6
but I’m still holding on to hope
                  Dmaj7
I’m looking for a miracle (I'm 
looking for America)
                  E6
I’m looking for a miracle (I'm 
looking for America)
                 F#m     E6
I’m looking for America


[Verse 3]
F#m
   America who are you?
     E6
Am I asking for too much (Yeah)
Dmaj7
     America who are you?
         E6
Has your dream become out of touch 
(I wonder)
F#m
   America who are you?
       E6
Do you get what you deserve
            Dmaj7
Between the violence and 
entitlements
      N.C.
Which nation do you serve?


[Chorus]
                  F#m
(I’m looking for America)
I’m looking for a place to breathe 
      E6
in, a place I could call my home
                  Dmaj7
(I’m looking for America)
I’m looking for the land of freedom,
   E6
 a place I can call my own (Call my 
own)
                  F#m
(I’m looking for America)
Headlines that I can’t believe in, 
        E6
but I’m still holding on to hope
                  Dmaj7
I’m looking for a miracle
                  E6
I’m looking for a miracle


[Bridge]
                 A        C#7  
I’m singing "Farewell my 
F#m              F
utopia,  farewell my euphoria"
A                     C#7 
 "Fare thee well my suburban 
          F#m              F
day-dream, farewell my utopia"


[Lecrae's verse]
   F#m
America, you so pretty but you not 
perfect
   E6
Confession of guilt is worth it, 
these people hurting deserve it
B5/D#
Blood on your hands I saw when 
there’s blood on this nations floor
         Dmaj7                     
But it’s blood on the upper post of
      C#
 your door, if you need to know 
(Oh!)
F#m
   I’m looking for your honesty in 
skeletons
E6
Do away with your ignorance and 
arrogance
         B5/D#
America, land of immigrants

Check the green card and pedigree
Dmaj7                     C#
Bless the Choctaw and the Cherokee 
that we’ll never see


[Chorus]
                  F#m
(I’m looking for America)
I’m looking for a place to breathe 
      E6
in, a place I could call my home (A 
place I could call my home)
                  Dmaj7
(I’m looking for America)
I’m looking for the land of freedom,
   E6
 a place I can call my own (Can I 
call it my own?)
                  F#m
(I’m looking for America)
Headlines that I can’t believe in, 
        E6
but I’m still holding on to hope 
(Come on!)
                  Dmaj7
I’m looking for a miracle (I'm still
 lookin' ya)
                  E6
I’m looking for a miracle (I'm still
 lookin' ya)
                 F#m         E6
I'm looking for America (Yeah, yeah)


[Otro] (Lecrae + Switchfoot)
Dmaj7
     The land of the free, home of 
the brave
E6
  But Lord knows that we need plenty
 change
                  F#m
(I’m looking for America)

Plenty chains in the past left deep 
scars
E6
  But when the sun come down, we 
gonna be stars
Dmaj7
     And may the stripes heal when 
it’s through
       E6
Beaten red white blue for the green 
that we pursue
                  F#m
(I’m looking for America)
