Verse 1:
G                A             C
Well, she was an American girl
          D
Raised on promises
G                       A
Yeah, she couldn't help thinkin' that there
      C                   D
Was a little more to life somewhere else
                    G
After all, it was a great big world
C                      Am
With lots of places to run to
D

And if she had to die tryin', she
D
Had one little promise she was gonna keep


Chorus:
C        D         G
 Oh yeah, all right
                  Em
Take it easy, baby

Make it last all night
       D            G
She was an American girl


Verse 2:
G                  A
Well, it was kinda cold that night
   C                      D
As she stood alone on her balcony
G                        A
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
       C        D
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
                      G
And for one desperate moment there
C                    Am
He crept back in her memory
D
God, it's so painful when something that is so close
D
Is still so far out of reach


Chorus:
C        D         G
 Oh yeah, all right
                 Em
Take it easy, baby
                 C
Make it last all night
       D            G
She was an American girl
