[Verse]
E F#7 A B
Well, she was an American Girl, raised on promises
E F#7
She couldn't help thinking that there
A B
Was a little more to life somewhere else
E
After all, it was a great big world
A F#m
With lots of places to run to
B
And if she had to die tryin'
A
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
[Chorus]
B E
Oh yeah, alright
C#m A
Take it easy baby, make it last all night
B E
She was an American Girl!
[Verse]
E F#7
Well, it was kinda cold that night
A B
She stood alone on her balcony
E F#7
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
A B
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
E
And for one desperate moment there
A F#m
He crept back in her memory
B
God, it's so painful when something that's so close
A
Is still so far out of reach!
[Chorus]
B E
Oh yeah, alright
C#m A
Take it easy baby, make it last all night
B E
She was an American Girl!
