Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You[G]'re[D] an[Dsus4] American[D]
girl
Red headed, eyes blank
Living in a freckle on the face
of the [Bm]world[D][Dsus4]

[Verse 2]
An[D]other dying kid that learned
too much too [Dsus4]soon
You're not as [D]good as your Mom,
but you're as good [Bm]as dead
You're as good as [D]dead, New Jersey
ain't the [Dsus4]whole world

[Verse 3]
[D]Which of your shots
have sold?
Twenty-nine with with your child
Who doesn't give and eats what's left [G]of
[A]your [D]young [Bm]soul[D][Dsus4]
Another dy[D]ing

[Verse 4]
spark that burned
too fast too [Dsus4]soon
You're not as [D]bad as your Dad,
but you're as good [Bm]as dead
You're as [D]good as dead, New Jersey
ain't the [Dsus4]whole world[G]

[Verse 5]
Don't you [Bm]leave me out here too [G]long
Will you bring me [A]out [Bm]there?[G]
Don't you leave me [D]out [Bm]here too [G]long
Will you bring me [A]out [Bm]there?
[D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 6]
[Dsus4]
You're [D]an American girl
Out of line in out of time
A cry for the leading role,
your [A]bum child[Bm]hood [D]stole

[Verse 7]
[Dsus4]
A [D]mother tires and stuck
in her love-worn bed
bed
[Dsus4]You're not as go[D]od as your Mom,
but you're as good [Bm]as dead
You're as good as [D]dead, New [Bm]Jersey
ain't the [D]whole world

[Verse 8]
[G]
Don't you [Bm]leave me out here too [G]long
Will you bring me [A]out [Bm]there?[G]
Don't you leave me [F#m]out
[Bm]here too [G]long
Will you bring me [Bm]out [D]there?[G][Em]
[D][G][Em][D][G][Em]
[F#m][A][G][Em]

[Verse 9]
[G]Don't you lea[Bm]ve me out
here too [G]long
Will you bring me [Bm]out [G]there?
Don't you leave me [Bm]out
here too [G]long
Will you bring me [Bm]out there?
