[Intro] (Lecrae)
F#m Land of the free, home of the brave E6 But Lord knows that we need plenty change Dmaj7 ’Cause plenty chains in the past leaving deep scars E6 But when the sun come down, we gonna be stars
[Verse 1]
F#m E6 The doors are locked where they once stood open Dmaj7 E6 A wound of fear where we once still hoping F#m E6 The shattered glass where the bullets broke in Dmaj7 I’m looking for the place that I was born E6 I’m looking for a way to fix what’s torn F#m E6 I’m looking for America (Yeah, yeah you know) Dmaj7 E6 I’m looking for America (Beaten red white and blue for the green we pursue)
(I’m still lookin’ for you)
[Verse 2]
F#m America who are you? E6 Underneath the red blue and white? (Yeah) Dmaj7 America who are you? E6 I wonder who you are tonight (Tell me who you are) F#m America who are you? E6 Is God still on your side? Dmaj7 I want to see a nation rise above the fear and fight E6 That haunts these streets tonight
[Chorus]
F#m (I’m looking for America) E6 I’m looking for a place to breathe in, a place I could call my home Dmaj7 (I’m looking for America) E6 I’m looking for the land of freedom, a place I can call my own F#m (I’m looking for America) E6 Headlines that I can’t believe in, but I’m still holding on to hope Dmaj7 I’m looking for a miracle (I'm looking for America) E6 I’m looking for a miracle (I'm looking for America) F#m E6 I’m looking for America
[Verse 3]
F#m America who are you? E6 Am I asking for too much (Yeah) Dmaj7 America who are you? E6 Has your dream become out of touch (I wonder) F#m America who are you? E6 Do you get what you deserve Dmaj7 Between the violence and entitlements
N.C.
Which nation do you serve?
[Chorus]
F#m (I’m looking for America) E6 I’m looking for a place to breathe in, a place I could call my home Dmaj7 (I’m looking for America) E6 I’m looking for the land of freedom, a place I can call my own (Call my own) F#m (I’m looking for America) E6 Headlines that I can’t believe in, but I’m still holding on to hope Dmaj7 I’m looking for a miracle E6 I’m looking for a miracle
[Bridge]
A C#7 F#m F I’m singing "Farewell my utopia, farewell my euphoria" A C#7 F#m F "Fare thee well my suburban day-dream, farewell my utopia"
[Lecrae's verse]
F#m America, you so pretty but you not perfect E6 Confession of guilt is worth it, these people hurting deserve it B5/D# Blood on your hands I saw when there’s blood on this nations floor Dmaj7 C# But it’s blood on the upper post of your door, if you need to know (Oh!) F#m I’m looking for your honesty in skeletons E6 Do away with your ignorance and arrogance B5/D# America, land of immigrants
Check the green card and pedigree
Dmaj7 C# Bless the Choctaw and the Cherokee that we’ll never see
[Chorus]
F#m (I’m looking for America) E6 I’m looking for a place to breathe in, a place I could call my home (A place I could call my home) Dmaj7 (I’m looking for America) E6 I’m looking for the land of freedom, a place I can call my own (Can I call it my own?) F#m (I’m looking for America) E6 Headlines that I can’t believe in, but I’m still holding on to hope (Come on!) Dmaj7 I’m looking for a miracle (I'm still lookin' ya) E6 I’m looking for a miracle (I'm still lookin' ya) F#m E6 I'm looking for America (Yeah, yeah)
[Outro] (Lecrae + Switchfoot)
Dmaj7 The land of the free, home of the brave E6 But Lord knows that we need plenty change F#m (I’m looking for America)
Plenty chains in the past left deep scars
E6 But when the sun come down, we gonna be stars Dmaj7 And may the stripes heal when it’s through E6 Beaten red white blue for the green that we pursue F#m (I’m looking for America)
