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 

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)

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 

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin kinda home sick 
Too much pressure and I'm nervous 
That's when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune 
and a Britney song was on 
and a Britney song was on 
and a Britney song was on 

CHORUS: (Repeat chords)
So I put my hands up 
They're playing my song, 
And the butterflys fly away 
Noddin' my head like yea 
Movin my hips like yea 
I got my hands up, 
They're playin my song 
I know im gonna be ok 
Yea, It's a party in the USA 
Yea, It's a party in the USA 

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: (Repeat chords til the end)
So I put my hands up 
They're playing my song, 
And the butterflies fly away 
Noddin' my head like yea 
Movin' my hips like yea 
I got my hands up, 
They're playin' my song 
I know I'm gonna be ok 
Yea, It's a party in the USA 
Yea, It's a party in the USA 

So I put my hands up 
They're playing my song, 
And the butterflies fly away 
Noddin' my head like yea 
Movin' my hips like yea 
I got my hands up, 
They're playin' my song 
I know I'm gonna be ok 
Yea, It's a party in the USA 
Yea, It's a party in the USA
