Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
Got a [G]one way ticket down a two-way street
Got the wind in my hair
and there's dust on my feet
I'm just [C]trying to make it in America
Only [G]thing to my name is in old t-shirt
Faded [G]1985 from the Stones concert
And I'm [C]dying to make it in America
And I'm [Am]singing the words to my favorite song
With the [G]rag top down and my glasses on
And I'm [C]driving straight through America

[Chorus 1]
I wanna taste the [G]sun
[D]Cause ba[C]by I'm born to run
[G]I g[Em]otta fe[C]eling that I'm[Em] not the only on[D]e
And [G]I, [D]I wan[C]na show some ski[G]n
[Em]Yeah, ba[C]by I need the [G]ocean
[D]And you [C]can't stop me [Em]now
I've got my [D]heart in motion
And [C]I wanna make it in America
Make it in America
[G][G]

[Verse 2]
I can [G]see my stars sunset and vine
Gonna carve my name in the Hollywood sign
Yeah, I [C]gotta, gotta make it in America
See me [G]wearing a smile even if I'm broke
I'll be singing the words from a song I wrote
And I [C]called it make it in America

[Chorus 2]
I wanna taste the [G]sun
[D]Cause ba[C]by I'm born to run
[G]I g[Em]otta fe[C]eling that I'm[Em] not the only on[D]e

[Bridge 1]
I can [Am]see the sweat
dripping down my face
I can [Bm]hear my heart as it starts to race
And some[C]times it's worth such a lonely place
If a [D]just push on I know that

[Chorus 3]
I wanna taste the [G]sun
Cause baby I'm born to run
I gotta feeling that I'm not the only one
And [D]I, I [C]wanna show some [G]skin
[Em]Yeah, ba[C]by I need the [G]ocean
[Em]And you [C]can't stop me [Em]now
I've got my [D]heart in motion
And [C]I wanna make it in America
