[Intro]
A7sus4 Em7   A7sus4 Em7   A7sus4 Em7

[Verse 1]
      A7sus4                                   Em7
 I was born on a rock in the middle of the ocean
          A7sus4                                     Em7
 Where the wind's so rough it could carry you to London
       Am                                      Cmaj                 G Cadd9
 It's a new found land with an old soul reaching, for the light of day


[Verse 2]
   G                                    Cadd9
 My parents gave me a life full of dreams
          G                                   Cadd9
 Yeah they gave me a heart to endure almost anything
    Am                                  Cmaj                           G
 But everyone gets a broken pair of wings, and if you try to fly you'll fail
      D                                      Em7/B       Cadd9
 But a voice said "Lift up your head", and my heart burst out of my chest


[Chorus]
G                   Cadd9                G
 I woke up in America  for the love of God
                    Cadd9                         Em7/B
 I woke up in America  for something bigger than myself
          Cadd9                  G           D
 More than fireworks and fanfare, more than a star-spangled banner
Em7/B        Cadd9             G Cadd9
 You're still beautiful America


[Verse 3]
         G                                         Cadd9
 Yeah its late in the night and I look in the mirror
          G                                              Cadd9
 Count the lines on my face and wonder how they got there
       Am                                        Cmaj
 Oh but every one's a story of how grace appeared,
                           G
 And carried me through the day
        D                                       Em7/B                Cadd9
 And the voice said, "this land ain't dead" It’s still got better days up ahead


[Chorus]
G                   Cadd9                G
 I woke up in America  for the love of God
                    Cadd9                         Em7/B
 I woke up in America  for something bigger than myself
          Cadd9                  G           D
 More than fireworks and fanfare, more than a star-spangled banner
Em7/B        Cadd9             Em7/B Cadd9 G D   Em7/B Cadd9 G D
 You're still beautiful America


[Bridge]
             Cadd9                       G                  D
 I've seen the horizon ablaze in Arizona, shoreline shoutin' over California
Em7/B                  Cadd9
 Moonlight dancin' over the Dakotas
   G                          D              Cadd9
 It breaks your heart, it's so beautiful, Lady Liberty, she leaves her light on
G                          D
 From the west side all the way to Long Island
Em7/B                 Cadd9                G              D
 Carolina Coast to the Rocky Mountains, the sun is shining over me


[Outro]
G                   Cadd9                G
 I woke up in America  for the love of God
                    Cadd9                         Em7/B
 I woke up in America  for something bigger than myself
          Cadd9                 G           D                 Em7/B
 More than wealth or depression, more than a red or blue nation

[Tag]
            Cadd9               G              D                 G Cadd9
 Here in our hells and our heaven, You're still beautiful America
       Cadd9            G Cadd9                    G
 You're beautiful America,  You're beautiful America
