F A# She comes out on Fridays every time F Stands out in a line C A# F A# I could have been anyone she'd seen F A# She waits another week to fall apart F She couldn't make another day C A# C I wish it was anyone but me A# C I could have been anyone you see Gm A# She had something breakable just under her skin Chorus: Dm A# F American girls all weather and noise C Dm Playing the changes for all of the boys A# F Holding a candle up to my hand C Making me feel so incredible She comes out of closets every night And then she locks herself away Where she could keep everything from me I could have been anyone you see She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin Chorus: American girls All weather & noise Playing the changes for all the of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible Little shivers shaking me every day But I could get this same thing anywhere So if she goes away Well, it's alright and I'm ok “Hey” she said, “Come back again tonight.” I said, “I might. I might. I might.” She said, “Well that's alright If it's alright with you Then it's alright with me.” I waited for an hour last Friday night She never came around She took almost everything from me I'm going through my closets Trying on her clothes almost every day I could have been anyone you see I wish it was anyone but me There's nothing but pills and ashes under my skin Chorus: American girls All weather & noise Playing the changes for all the of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible If I made you cry Please tell me why 'Cause I'll try again if you let me try American girls All feathers & cream Come into bed so edible | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA#  C  Dm  F  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
