American Girl Bb
Bb C Eb F
Well, she was an American girl Raised on promises
Bb C Eb F
She couldn't help thinkin' that there Was a little more to life somewhere else
Bb Eb Cm F
After all, it was a great big world With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin' She had one little promise she was gonna keep

Oh yeah, all right Take it easy, baby Make it last all night
Eb F Bb
She was an American girl
Bb C Eb F
Well, it was kind of cold that night She stood alone on her balcony (Ooh)
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
Bb Eb Cm F
And for one desperate moment there He crept back in her memory / God, it's so painful when something that is so close / Is still so far out of reach
