Verse 1

D E7

Well she was an American girl.

G A

Raised on promises

D E7

She couldn't help thinking that there was

G A

a little more to life somewhere else

D

After all it was a great big world

G Em

with lots of places to run to

A

And if she's gonna die tryin' she

had one little promise she was gonna keep

Chorus

G A D Bm G

Oh yeah,alright, take it easy baby make it last all night

A D

She was an American girl

Verse 2

Well it was kinda cold that night

She stood alone on the balcony

Yeh she could hear the cars roll by,

out on four-fortyone like waves crashing on the beach

And for one desperate moment there

he crept back in her memory

God it's so painful when something that's so close

is still so far to reach

(Chorus)
