D
Well, she was an
E7
American girl,
G
raised on
A
promises
D
She couldn't help
E7
thinking 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
Em
run to
A
nd if she had to die tryin', she had one little promise she was gonna keep
Chorus
G
Oh yeh,
A
alright,
D
take it easy baby
Bm
Make it last all night
G
she was
A
an American
D
girl.
D
Well it was kind of
E7
cold that night,
G
she stood alone on the
A
balcony
D
Yeh, she could hear the
E7
cars roll by out on
G
four forty one like
A
waves crashing on the beach,
And for one desperate
D
moment there
G
he crept back in her
Em
memory
A
God it's so painful when something that's so close, is still so far out of reach
