Verse 1:

         E        D
        Only in America
         E              D
        Can a guy from anywhere
        E              D          E
        Go to sleep a pauper and wake up a millionaire
        A         G
        Only in America
        A              G
        Can a kid without a cent
        A                G         A
        Get a break and maybe grow up to be President

Chorus:

        D        A/C#
        Only in America
         D          A/C#
        Land of opportunity
         Bm            F#m            G          A        [1: B  2: E, to coda]
        Would a classy girl like you fall for a poor boy like me

Verse 2:

        Only in America
        Can a kid who's washing cars
        Take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars
        Only in America
        Could a dream like this come true
         A               G              A           B           E
        Could a guy like me start with nothing and end up with you
