[Intro] C Cadd2/B Am Am G x2
(Play the last Am and G quickly throughout the song)
[Verse 1]
C Cadd2/B
I hopped off the plane at LAX
Am Am G
with a dream and my cardigan
C Cadd2/B Am
welcome to the land of fame excess (whoa),
Am G
am I gonna fit in?
C
Jumped in the cab,
Cadd2/B Am
Here I am for the first time
Am Am G
Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign
C Cadd2/B Am
This is all so crazy
Am Am G
Everybody seems so famous
[Pre-Chorus]
C Cadd2/B Am
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Am Am G
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
C Cadd2/B
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
Am Am G
and a Jay Z song was on
Am (let ring)
and a Jay Z song was on
(no chords)
and a Jay Z song was on
[Chorus]
C
So I put my hands up
Cadd2/B
They’re playing my song,
Am Am G
And the butterflies fly away
C Cadd2/B
Noddin’ my head like yea
Am Am G
Movin' my hips like yea
C
I got my hands up,
Cadd2/B
They’re playin my song
Am Am G
I know I'm gonna be ok
C Cadd2/B Am Am G
Yea, It's a party in the USA
C Cadd2/B Am Am G
Yea, It's a party in the USA
(Repeat chords from first verse)
[Verse 2]
Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin' at me now
Like “who's that chick that's rockin’ kicks?
She gotta be from out of town”
So hard with my girls not around me
Its definitely not a Nashville party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo
[Pre-Chorus]
C Cadd2/B Am
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Am Am G
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
C Cadd2/B
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
Am Am G
and a Jay Z song was on
Am (let ring)
and a Jay Z song was on
(no chords)
and a Jay Z song was on
[Chorus]
C
So I put my hands up
Cadd2/B
They’re playing my song,
Am Am G
And the butterflies fly away
C Cadd2/B
Noddin’ my head like yea
Am Am G
Movin' my hips like yea
C
I got my hands up,
Cadd2/B
They’re playin my song
Am Am G
I know I'm gonna be ok

Yea, It's a party in the USA
C Cadd2/B Am Am G
Yea, It's a party in the USA
[Bridge]
Cadd2/B Am
Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight)
Cadd2/B Am
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Cadd2/B Am
Something stops me every time (every time)
Cadd2/B G
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright
[Chorus]
C
So I put my hands up
Cadd2/B
They’re playing my song,
Am Am G
And the butterflies fly away
