[Verse]
             E                G
Well she was an American girl ■
A                  D
Raised on promises ■
             E                       
She couldn't help thinking that there
G                         A             
Was a little more to life somewhere else


[Chorus]
             D                    
After all it was a great big world
G                     E        
■ With lots of places to run to
E7   A                           
Yeah and if she had to die trying
                                         G   
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
   A7   A D      
Oh yeah ■ alright
             Bm  
Take it easy baby
                 G    
Make it last all night
    A      D            
She was an American girl


[Verse]
            E7    E              
Well it was kinda cold that night
G               A             
She stood alone on her balcony
D              E                            G                        
Yeah she could hear the cars roll by out on four hundred and fortyone
A                               
Like waves crashing on the beach


[Chorus]
            D                     
And for one desperate moment there
G                E         
He crept back in her memory
A                                            
God it's so painful something that's so close
                       G    
Is still so far out of reach
   A    D      
Oh yeah alright
             Bm7 
Take it easy baby
                 Bm G    
Make it last all ■  night
    A      D            
She was an American girl
