You called all the way from America

E

Said "Hang onto love girl"

Aadd9/E Badd11

But the weeks and the months and the years

E Aadd9/E

Passed by...

E

And my eyes couldn't stand the strain

Aadd9/E Badd11

Of that promised love

E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E

All the way from America

E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E

All the way from America

E Aadd9/E

You called all the way from America

E

Said I'll soon be home girl

Aadd9/E Badd11

And years and the tears and the fears,

E Aadd9/E

Passed by...

E

And my heart couldn't stand the pain

Aadd9/E Badd11

of that promised love

E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E

All the way from America

E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E

All the way from America

E Aadd9/E

I stayed all alone and I waited round

E

For you to knock at my door

Aadd9/E

But the knock never came

Badd11

and no ring

E Aadd9/E

At all....

E

And now I sit and wonder why

Aadd9/E Badd11

You made that first call

E Aadd9/E

All the way way from America

Badd11

I don't believe I'll stay here

E Aadd9/E Badd11

I don't think I want to wait here anymore

Aadd9/E Badd11

And if you search for me baby

E Aadd9/E Badd11

Better bring some more love than you declared

E Aadd9/E E Badd11 Aadd9/E

All the way from America

E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E

All the way from America

Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E

E

And my heart couldn't stand the pain

Aadd9/E Badd11

of that promised love

E Aadd9/E E Badd11 Aadd9/E

All the way from America

E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E

All the way from America

E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E

All the way from America

E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E Badd11 E

[pause]

E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E [fade]
