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 
Cadd9      G       Cadd9 
          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 
Cadd9   G     Cadd9 
    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
