Verse 1
(E minor) Baby, (E major) (E minor) I should've
worn my pink (A minor) sweater
To make myself look (G major) better
But I thought you knew (D major)
(E major) Maybe I (E minor) could've
gotten there earli (A minor) er
I could've talked to an (G major) other (D major)
But it was (E minor) you,
and you didn't really seem to care
Be (A minor) hind your desk,
the power cut in your head
You're (G major) just doing your job,
but it's my life on the line
And in the (B major) blink of an eye,
you might have ruined it (E minor) (A minor)
America, why do you make it (G major) so hard?
Why do you make it (B major) so hard?
America, (E minor) I don't want it to (A minor) know how
I just wanna be (G major) closer
I just wanna be (B major) closer to you
Can you see my (E major) dream? (E minor)
My dream was crushed in a (A minor) second
You (C major) didn't (A minor) even give me (G major) a chance
To tell you (D major) all about my family
My (E major) mother, my father, my sisters
I (E minor) haven't (A minor) seen them
around for an eternity
You (G major) were my kid in heaven
My ticket to the golden state
(B major) But instead you ruined (E minor) it
America, (A minor) why do you
make it (G major) so hard?
Why do you make it (B major) so hard?
America, (E minor) (E major) I don't want you to (A minor) know
I just wanna be (G major) closer
I just wanna be (B major) closer to you
Can you see? Can you see? (E minor)
March 2020, coming back to (E major) Paris
after three (E minor) months in the United States
(A minor) of America.
I loved it. I found hope, strength.
(G major) I saw my family again.
I found friends, freedom.
(D major) I found everything I've been looking for.
I applied for a visa.
I decided (E minor) that I'd leave everything
(E major) be hind me.
My friends, my life,
everything (E minor) that I'd built for
(A minor) a shot at a greater future.
My visa was approved.
Oh God, (G major) tears of joy.
Life hasn't always been easy
and that was it.
Bye (C major) bye France, (E minor) hello America
(A minor) America
Why do you make it (G major) so hard?
Why do you make it (B major) so hard?
America (E minor)
I don't want you to (A minor) know
I just wanna be (G major) closer
I just wanna be (B major) closer to
you (E minor) (A minor)
America, why did you make it (G major) so hard,
why did you make it (B major) so hard
America, (E minor) (E major) I know I did it (A minor) wrong,
I just wanna be (G major) closer,
I just wanna be (B major) closer
Oh (E major) say can (E minor) you (A minor) see,
by the (G major) dawn's early light
America
