D                 E7            G          A
 Well, she was an American Girl, raised on promises


D                  E7
 She couldn't help thinking that there

 Was a little more to life somewhere else

                     D
 After all, it was a great big world


G                       Em
 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


                 Bm                 G
Take it easy baby, make it last all night


     A              D
She was an American Girl!



Verse:

D                   E7
 Well, it was kinda cold that night


 G                      A
 She stood alone on her balcony


D                         E7
 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                    Em
 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


                 Bm                 G
Take it easy baby, make it last all night


     A              D
She was an American Girl!
