Intro:
EADA EADA EADA EADA

Verse 1:
B5B5
She wakes up in the morning
A5A5            E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
with a pain in her jet black head
B5B5
decaf coffee in her hand
A5A5        E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
and A augmentedA Marboro Red
C# minorC#m
She drives down to the office
A5A5
in her Japanese car
E MajorE
With her radio blasting,
she thinks of takin it too far
Dsus2Dsus2
But today she'll pay the bills
A5A5
She won't think about the thrills
B5B5
That pass away

Chorus:
E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA        E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
She's an all American girl
E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA      E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
An all American girl
A5A5
And she'll live and die
B5B5
in this man's world
          E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA  E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
An all-American girl

Verse 2:
B5B5
Her eyes are black as leather
A5A5            E MajorE ADA
and her hair is killer red
B5B5
How could she keep the baby
A5A5               E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
when she can barely keep her head
C# minorC#m
She don't owe nobody nothing
A augmentedA
cause she ain't on the street
E MajorE
But these drinks are gettin heavy
and the tips are getting weak
Dsus2Dsus2
And she don't understand
A5A5
why she can't crawl out of the sand
B5B5
And break away

Chorus:

Bridge:
C# minorC#m
Her lover never came home
A5A5
It's half past three
E MajorE
Today her best friend told her He's HIV
Dsus2Dsus2
Somethings got to give somewhere
A5A5
Forcing circles into squares
B5B5
She keeps pushing on

Chorus 2:

Outro:
EADA EADA EADA EADA
