Verse 1:
G Bm Dmaj/A
If these walls came crumbling down,
Fell so hard to make us lose our faith,
From what’s left you’d figure it out,
Still make lemonade taste like a sunny day,

Nobody’s laughing now,
G Bm Dmaj7/A
Gods grace lost and the devil is proud,
G Bm Dmaj7/A
But I’ve been walking for a thousand miles,
G Bm Dmaj7/A
One last time I could see you smile,
G Bm Dmaj7/A
I, I, hold, hold on to you,
G Bm Dmaj7/A
You bring me hope, I’ll see you soon,
And if I don’t see you,
I’m afraid we’ve lost the way
Stay, beautiful baby,
I hope you stay American, baby
American baby (2x)
I hold on, to you, you lift me up
And always will,
I see you in life,
Hope I don’t get left behind,
I, I, hold, hold on to you,
You bring me hope,
I’ll see you soon,
And if I don’t see you,
I’m afraid we’ve lost the way
Stay, beautiful baby,
I hope you stay American, baby,
I hope you stay, beautiful baby,
I hope you stay American, baby,
American baby (2x)
Stay American, baby
Beautiful,
Nobody’s laughing now,
Cause you could always make me laugh out loud,
Stay American, baby
American baby,
Stay American, baby
American baby
