Sounds Like America To Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Well I [D]don't know about inflation
Who [G]makes what [A]inflate
Each [D]new taste sensation
I [G]don't know why it [A]rates
And though [Bm]in my imagination
I'm [F#m]sure of how I f[G]eel
My [Em]present hesitation
Is [Bm]I'm afraid it's real
[A]

[Verse 2]
Some [D]times these days it's
[F#m]hard to choose
[G]The one right road to [A]go
But [Bm]this then is [F#m]all I'm sure I know
[A]

[Verse 3]
I [G]know when a child is hurt[A]ing
That [D]the silence [A]can be [Bm]wrong[A]
I know [G]that when old folks are [A]helpless
I [D]can't just [A]pass [Bm]along[A]
And I [G]know when someone's [A]hungry
I [D]can't just [A]sing this [Bm]song
[A]And when I hea[G]r somebody cry[A]ing
I can[Em]'t just wonder wh[A]o
that it could [Bm]be
Well I [Em]hear somebody crying [A]now
And it [Em]sure sounds like
[A]America to [D]me

[Verse 4]
[D]
Insecurity can beat me darling
[G]But sometimes that's where I'm [A]at
So I [D]hope that you can keep me darling
So that at [G]least I can count on [A]that
You see [Bm]some things stir me deeply
Though [F#m]I try to hide from [G]pain
But [Em]wide awake or sleeping
Some [Bm]questions still remain
[A]

[Verse 5]
Some[D]times these days
it's [F#m]hard to choose
The [G]one right road to [A]go
But [Bm]this then is [F#m]all I'm sure I kn[A]ow
You see [G]I know when a child is hurt[A]ing
That si[D]lence [A]can be [Bm]wrong[A]
And I [G]know that when old folks are [A]helpless
I [D]can't just [A]pass [Bm]along[A]
And I [G]know when someone's [A]hungry
I can[D]'t just [A]sing this [Bm]song
[A]And when I hea[G]r somebody cry[A]ing
I can[Em]'t just wonder wh[A]o
that it could [Bm]be
And I [Em]hear somebody crying [A]now
And it [Em]sure sounds like
[A]America to me
[D]

[Verse 6]
Sometimes a simple question
Is much [G]better than [A]the truth
Some[D]times we need our experience
Some[G]times we need our [A]youth
Some[Bm]times the signs pouring out to us
That [F#m]we have lost our way[G]
Some[Em]times the times are times that look
An [Bm]awful lot like today
[A]

[Verse 7]
Some[D]times these days it's
[F#m]hard to choose
[G]The one right road [A]to go
But [Bm]this then is [F#m]all I'm sure I kn[A]ow
I know [G]when a child is [A]hurting
That si[D]lence [A]can be [Bm]wrong
[A]I kno[G]w that when old folks are hel[A]pless
I [D]can't just [A]pass [Bm]along
[A]And I kno[G]w when someone's hun[A]gry
I can[D]'t just [A]sing this [Bm]song
[A]And when I hea[G]r somebody cry[A]ing
I can[Em]'t just wonder wh[A]o
that it could [Bm]be
Well I [Em]hear somebody crying [A]now
And it [Em]sure sounds like [A]America to me
