 D                 E7
Well, she was an American girl
G           A
Raised on promises
D                   E7
She couldn't help thinkin' that there was a
G                    A
little more to life somewhere else

A                    D
After all it was a great big world
G                      Em
With lots of places to run to
A
And if she had to die tryin'
she had one little promise she was gonna keep

Chorus:
G      A          D                  Bm
O yeah, all right, take it easy, baby,
make it last all night
G      A             D
She was an American girl

Well it was kinda cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach

And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach
