[Intro 1]
[G][Fm][G][D]
[A][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
She comes out [D]on Fridays
every [G]time
Stands out in [D]a line[A]
I could've been [G]anyone
she'd [D]seen[G][D][G]
She waits another [D]week to fall apart
[G]She couldn't make another day[D][A]
I wish it was [G]anyone but [A]me
I could have been [G]anyone you [A]see
She had something [Em]breakable just
un[G]der her [Bm]skin

[Verse 2]
American [G]girls all weather and [D]noise
Playing [A]the changes for
all of the [Bm]boys
Holding [G]a candle up to my [D]hand
Making me feel [A]so incredible

[Verse 3]
[G]
She comes out of [D]closets every [G]night
Then she locks herself [D]away[A]
Where she could keep
[G]everything from [A]me
I could have been [G]anyone
you'd [A]seen
she's nothing but [Em]por celain
under[G]neath her [Bm]skin

[Verse 4]
American [G]girls all weather and [D]noise
Playing [A]the changes for
all of [Bm]the boys
Holding [G]a candle up to my [D]hand
Making me feel [A]so incredible

[Verse 5]
[D]Little shiver shaking[G] me every day
[D]But I could get the same [G]thing anywhere
[D]So if she goes away
[G]Well, [Em]it's all right and I[A]'m OK
[D]"Hey" she said,
"Come [G]back again tonight"
[D]And I said "I might, I might, I might"
She said [G]"well [Em]that's all right"
[F#m]If it's alright with [Bm]you
It's [Em]alright with me
[Asus4][A]

[Verse 6]
[G]
I waited for an [D]hour last Friday [G]night
She never came [D]around[A]
She took almost [G]everything from [D]me[G]
I'm going through my [D]closet,
trying on her [G]clothes almost
every [D]day[A]
I could've been [G]anyone you [A]see
I wish it was [G]anyone but [A]me
There's nothing but [Em]pills and
ashes un[G]der my [Bm]skin

[Verse 7]
American [G]girls all weather and [D]noise
Playing [A]the changes for
all of the [Bm]boys
Holding [G]a candle up to my [D]hand
Making me feel [A]so incredible

[Verse 8]
[Bm]If I made you cry,[G] please tell me why
[D]Cause I'll try aga[A]in if you
let me [Bbdim]try[Bm]
American [G]girls all feathers [D]& cream
Coming into [A]bed so [Bm]edible
