[C#m] [B] Somebody [E] told us there was [B] a place like heaven
[C#m] Close to my [A] ocean, close to [E] heaven
Where we're living [C#m] in a [B] modern [E] world
[C#m] [B] [E]
This is a [B] dream we've got to [C#m] notion
A floating line [A] across a big ocean
[E]
Where we're living [C#m] in [B] a modern [E] world
[C#m] [A] [B] [Cm] Love is deeper [C#m] than sunlight, [A] power and scale
Give [C#m] me a lesson, I will show you a [A] dream that'll fall
[B] [E]
America, take [A] me to my sister, I'm coming [E] to America
Let [B] my sister run, I'm coming [E] to America
Let [A] me share the dream, I'm [E] coming to America
[B] She's the love of me
Man, [E] I'm just talking to myself, [B] don't need nobody else
[C#m] Twenty thousand miles up [A] in the sky each [E] night
Where we're living [C#m] in [B] a modern [E]
[C#m] world
[B] [E] Perhaps you wanna speak on [B] the phone
[C#m] I'm not in a state to [A] try to talk to [E] someone
We're living [C#m] in [B] a modern [E] world
[C#m] [A] [B] [G#] She left me [C#m] at the door, [A] but no one's there
No one to [C#m] be seen, no one to be seen
I can't [A] help that loneliness just [B] keeps on growing
I'm [E] coming to America, take [A] me to my sister
I'm coming [E]
[B] to [E] America

Here we live in
[C#m] I'm [E]
[B] [E] coming to America
I'm [A] [E] coming to America
