(Verse 1)
(G) Well, she was an A-(A)merican girl
(C) Raised on (D)promises
(G) She couldn't help (A)thinkin' that there
Was a (C)little more to life (D)somewhere else
(D) After all it was a (G)great big world
With (C)lots of places to (A)run to
(D) And if she had to die tryin' she
(D) Had one little promise she was gonna keep

(Chorus)
(C) O yeah, (D) all right
(G) Take it easy, baby
(Em) Make it last all night
(C) Yeah, she was (D) an American (G)girl

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

(Chorus)
(C) O yeah, (D) all right
(G) Take it easy, baby
(Em) Make it last all night
(C) Yeah, she was (D) an American (G)girl / / / |(G) / / / |
