[Verse]
D# F7 G# A#
Well, she was an American Girl, raised on promises
D# F7
She couldn't help thinking that there
G# A#
Was a little more to life somewhere else
D#
After all, it was a great big world
G# Fm
With lots of places to run to
A#
And if she had to die tryin'
G#
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
[Chorus]
A# D#
Oh yeah, alright
Cm G#
Take it easy baby, make it last all night
A# D#
She was an American Girl!
[Verse]
D# F7
Well, it was kinda cold that night
G# A#
She stood alone on her balcony
D# F7
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
G# A#
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
D#
And for one desperate moment there
G# Fm
He crept back in her memory
A#
God, it's so painful when something that's so close
G#
Is still so far out of reach!
[Chorus]
A# D#
Oh yeah, alright
Cm G#
Take it easy baby, make it last all night
A# D#
She was an American Girl!
