[Verse 1]
[C]Well she was an Amer[D]ican girl
[F]Raised on pro[G]mises
[C]She couldn't help thi[D]nkin' that there
Was a [F]little more to life
[G]Somewhere else
After all it was a [C]great big world
[F]With lots of places to run[Dm] to
[G]Yeah, and if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise

[Chorus 1]
She was gonna keep
[F]Oh yea[G]h, alright
[C]Take it easy baby
[Am]Make it last all night
[F]She was[G] an American girl

[Verse 2]
[C]Well, it was kind of col[D]d that night
[F]She stood alone on her [G]balcony
[C]Yeah, she could hear the car[D]s roll by
Out on [F]441
Like [G]waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate [C]moment there
[F]He crept back in her [Dm]memory
[G]God it's so painful
Something that is so close

[Chorus 2]
And still so far out of reach
[F]Oh yea[G]h, alright
[C]Take it easy baby
[Am]Make it last all night
[F]She was[G] an American girl
