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

And I hope that you're better
than all of your friends
I hope that they hold you until the end
You can have America

Chorus:
F               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

And see where I found you, where they all lay
All of the greats, they are here to stay
Here in America
And I hope that you find it, all that you are
I hope that it sets you apart, oh-oh, oh-oh
In the heart of America
Hmm, hmm

Chorus:
But all of our time chasing America
But she never had a home for me
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
All of our time chasing a dream
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
A dream that meant nothing to me

And all the parties, they fade
And yes, my looks, they'll go away
I'll just be left here in America
But she never had a home for me
