Well, she [E] was an American [G] girl, _ _ raised on [A] promises.
_ [G] _
[D] She [E] couldn't help thinking that there [G] was a little more to life [A] somewhere else. _
After [B] all, it [D] was a great big world, [G]
and that's the [Bm] places [Em] to run to.
[A]
Yeah, music at the top, _ try and see, that one little promise she was gonna [G] keep.
_ Oh [A] yeah, _ _ [D] alright, take it easy [Bm] baby, make it last all [G] night.
_ She [A] was an [D] American girl, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ but it was [E] kinda cold that night.
[G]
She stood alone [A] on a balcony, _ _ [D] _
yeah, she couldn't [E] encourage all that.
[Em] Not on [G] 441, [A] like waves crashing on the beach.
_ [G] What [D] desperate moment there, [G]
be it dread, or [Bm] bad, [Em] in her memory.
_ [A]
God, it's so painful, something that's so close, _ feels so far away.
[G] _
_ Oh [A] yeah, _ _ [D] alright, take it easy [Bm] baby, make it last [G] all night.
She [A] was an [D] American girl.
