Intro:
EADA  EADA  EADA  EADA

Verse 1:
B5
She wakes up in the morning
A5                        E A D A
with a pain in her jet black head
B5
decaf coffee in her hand
A5               E A D A
and A Marboro Red
C#m
She drives down to the office
A5
in her Japanese car
E

With her radio blasting,
she thinks of takin it too far
Dsus2
But today she'll pay the bills
A5
She won't think about the thrills
B5
That pass away

Chorus:
E A D A                E A D A
She's an all American girl
E A D A            E A D A
An all American girl
A5
And she'll live and die
B5
in this man's world
                   E A D A   E A D A
An all-American girl

Verse 2:
B5
Her eyes are black as leather
A5                        E ADA
and her hair is killer red
B5
How could she keep the baby
A5                             E A D A
when she can barely keep her head
C#m
She don't owe nobody nothing
A
cause she ain't on the street
E
But these drinks are gettin heavy
and the tips are getting weak
Dsus2
And she don't understand
A5
why she can't crawl out of the sand
B5
And break away

Chorus:

Bridge:
C#m
Her lover never came home
A5
It's half past three
E
Today her best friend told her He's HIV
Dsus2
Somethings got to give somewhere
A5
Forcing circles into squares
B5
She keeps pushing on

Chorus 2:

Outro:
EADA  EADA  EADA  EADA
