Falling In Love In America

CAPO 2nd Fret

       G                                  C

Her eyes were so warm and inviting,
      G                        D
Like steamy diner windows on a cold winter
 day
    G                    C
The November air was so biting
    G                         D
We could see our breath in my old Chevrolet
C           G          D
Taking the longest way home I could find
       C              G              D
It was cold, but she loved me, and I had to stop time
         C            G          D            G
There's nothing like falling in love in America

G                              C

Well, I've never yet been to Paris
          G                     D
And I've never been one to like fancy
 perfume
          G                      C
But I've held hands with Jessica Harris
    G                            D
And walked by the creek with the red bud in bloom
      C          G            D
Those writers in Cosmo, they don't know a
thing
    C                G          D
And France ain't got nothin' on Kentucky in
 Spring
            C             G           D
And there's nothing like falling in love in
     G
America
Cadd9     G     Cadd9

(Chorus)
 D    C                G          C
America. Lift up your lonely and broken
    G               C
The hopeless still hopin'
 D    C              G                C
America  Heal up the hearts that are achin
       G         C
Those yet to be taken
         G              C           D
There's nothing like falling in love in
       G
 America

  G                          C
A dance at a High School gymnasium
                  G                           D
The kids line the walls like they're facing a firing squad
        G                     C
They're waiting for transfiguration
   G                        D
Or some kind of sign from a merciful God
      C                  G               D
If I thought that they'd listen (and they haven't, so far)
    C             G             D
I'd tell them how beautiful and bright they all are
            C             G          D
And there's nothing like falling in love in
      G
America
Cadd9    G     Cadd9
   G                             C
I know it all comes down to perspective
             G                D
And there's so many beautiful things we can't see
         G                       C
But our vision just needs resurrected
        G                        D
We take so much for granted when so much comes free
      C            G              D
And I know it may seem like it's all upside down
        C      G         D
But if we ever needed a love song, it's now
            C             G          D
And there's nothing like falling in love in
     G
America
Cadd9     G      Cadd9

(Chorus)
D  C                G           C
America. Lift up your lonely and broken
    G               C
The hopeless still hopin'
 D    C              G                C
America  Heal up the hearts that are achin
       G         C
Those yet to be taken
         G              C           D
There's nothing like falling in love
         G              C           D
There's nothing like falling in love
         G              C           D
There's nothing like falling in love

          G
In  America
