American Girl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Asus4][D][G][D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Well, she was an [Em]American
[G]girl
Raised on [A]promises[D]
She couldn't help [Em]thinkin'
That there was a [G]little more
to life [A]somewhere else
After all it was a [D]great big world
[G]With lots of places to run[Em] to
[A]And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise
she was gonna [D]keep

[Verse 2]
[G]O yea[A]h, all rig[D]ht
Take it easy, [Bm]baby
Make it last all [G]night
She [A]was an American girl
[D]

[Verse 3]
Well it was kind of [Em]cold that night,
[G]She stood alone on [A]her balcony
[D]She could hear all the[Em] cars rolling by,
Out [G]on 441 like [A]waves
crashin' over the beach
And for one desperate [D]moment
There [G]he crept [D]back in her [Em]memory
[A]God it's so painful when
something that's so close
Is still so far out of [G]reach
O [Em]yeah,

[Verse 4]
[A]all rig[D]ht
Take it easy, [Bm]baby
Make it last all [G]night
She [A]was an American girl
