D


[Verse]
D                 E7            G          A Well, she was an American Girl, raised on promises
D                  E7  She couldn't help thinking that there
       G                   A Was a little more to life somewhere else
                     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'
                                            G She had one little promise she was gonna keep


[Chorus]
     A      DOh yeah, alright
                 Bm                 GTake it easy baby, make it last all night
     A              DShe was an American Girl!


[Verse]
D                   E7 Well, it was kinda cold that night
 G                      A She stood alone on her balcony
D                         E7 Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by 
        G        A Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
                       D And for one desperate moment there
 G                    Em He crept back in her memory
 A God, it's so painful when something that's so close
                          G Is still so far out of reach!


[Chorus]
     A      DOh yeah, alright
                 Bm                 GTake it easy baby, make it last all night
     A              DShe was an American Girl!
