D                E7           G         A

Well she was an American girl raised on promises

D                 E7

She couldn't help thinking that there was

  G                   A

A little more to life somewhere else

                   D               G                      Em

After all it was a great big world with lots of places to run to

A

And if she had to die trying she had one little promise she was gonna

keep

G      A        D                 Bm

Oh yea allright take it easy baby make it last all night

G       A           D

She was an American girl

D                E7                  G                  A

Well it was kind cold that night she stood alone on the balcony

D                           E7

Yea she could hear the cars roll by

G                     A

Out on 441 like waves crashing on the beach

                      D            G                    Em

And for one desperate moment there he crept back in her memory

A

God it's so painful when something that's so close

Is hard to find

G      A        D                 Bm

Oh yea allright take it easy baby make it last all night

G       A           D

She was an American girl
