[Intro 1]
[Am][C][D][Am]

[Verse 1]
Like [Am]a spider
to a [Dm]fly she s[Am]ang
I was tangled in her [Em]web[Dm]

[Verse 2]
American [Am]beauty - just an
[C]illusion of a [D]girl
American [Am]beauty - spreading
her [C]im age to the [Dm]world
I couldn't [D]have [E]tried [Am]to
fight her to deny her
I'd [E]- a [Am]died to lie [E]beside her
[D]Wrong [Dsus4]or right she was[D]
[E]mine - american beauty
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Every whisper drew me [Dm]closer [Am]still
Every breath we seemed to [Em]share[Dm]
I [Am]couldn't turn away she
moved in [Dm]for the kill
Did I [C]give into the [D]bait or lead
it to me
[Esus4][E]

[Verse 4]
American [Am]beauty - just an
[C]illusion of a [D]girl
American [Am]beauty - spreading
her [C]im age to the [D]world
