Dm7
[Verse 1]
Dm7
And so I've arrived
F/C
With gold in my eyes
Fmaj7 Amadd11
Are you paying attention?
Fmaj7 Amadd11
[Chorus 1]
F C Am
I was searching for something as I watched you run
Em Dm
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
F C Am
Were you looking for someone as I watched you go?
Em Dm
I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for
F C Am
I've been looking for so long in Amerika
Em Dm
Throw my hands in the air
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 Amadd11
Flash, fade in
Fmaj7 Amadd11
Say you care, but you don't
Fmaj7 Amadd11
You know I hate it
Fmaj7 Amadd11
It's a rich kid game and it'll blow up with a throw
That's all that it really is
[Chorus 2]
F C Am
I was searching for something as I watched you run
Em Dm
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
F C Am
Were you looking for someone as I watched you go?
Em Dm
I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for
F C Am
Always talking about one day in Amerika
Em Dm

Em Dm
Throw my hands in the air cause I...
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 Amadd11
Your palace
Fmaj7 Amadd11
All the friends you own
Fmaj7 Amadd11
So jealous
Fmaj7 Amadd11
Felt that rich kid pain what it is to be alone
C
It’s all it really is
[Chorus 3]
F C Am
I was searching for something as I watched you run
Em Dm
I was sad when you said that you never really wanted some
F C Am
Were you looking for someone as I watched you go?
Em Dm
I am mad because I don’t know what you used me for
F C Am
Always talking about one day in Amerika
Em Dm
Same old story, oh you want glory son
[Outro]
F C Am Em Dm

F C Am Em Dm
In Amerika! In Amerika!
F C Am Em Dm
In Amerika! In Amerika!
