verse 1: 
                 F             Bb 
She comes out on Fridays every time 
                F 
Stands out in a line 
C                  Bb            F       F Bb F Bb    Bb 
 I could have been anyone she'd seen     (Riff 1) 
                  F             Bb 
She waits another week to fall apart 
                          F 
She couldn't make another day 
C              Bb          C 
 I wish it was anyone but me 
                  Bb          C 
I could have been anyone you see 
                  Gm             Bb 
She had something breakable just under her skin 


Chorus 1: 
Dm         Bb                     F 
  American girls all weather and noise 
            C                      Dm 
Playing the changes for all of the boys 
          Bb               F 
Holding a candle up to my hand 
           C 
Making me feel so incredible 


verse 2: 
Bb                   F             Bb 
    She comes out of closets every night 
              F 
But then she locks herself away 
C                     Bb             C 
 Where she could keep anything from me 
                  Bb          C 
I could have been anyone you see 
                  Gm          Bb 
She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin 


Chorus 2: 
Dm         Bb                     F 
  American girls all weather and noise 
            C                      Dm 
Playing the changes for all of the boys 
          Bb               F 
Holding a candle up to my hand 
           C 
Making me feel so incredible 



Interlude: (play intro riff with vocals) 
F                Bb 
  Little shivers shaking me everyday 
F                     Bb 
  But I could get the same thing anywhere 
F           Bb 
  So if she goes away 
      Gm                C 
Well, it's alright and I'm okay 
     F            Bb 
'Hey', she said, 'Come back again tonight.' 
F              Bb 
 And I said 'I might, I might, I might.' 
F                 Bb 
 She said 'Well, that's alright. 
Gm                 Am                 Dm 
   If it's alright, it's alright with you 
                      Gm                   C       Bb 
then it's alright if it's alright with me 


verse 3: 
                F                Bb 
I waited for an hour last Friday night 
                F 
She never came around 
C                Bb               F      F  Bb 
 She took almost everything from me 
                     F 
I'm going through my closets 
              Bb                    F 
Trying on her clothes, almost everyday 
C                Bb 
 I could've been anyone you see 
C              Bb         C 
 I wish it was anyone but me 
                    Gm              Bb 
There's nothing but pills and ashes under my skin 


Chorus 3: 
Dm         Bb                     F 
  American girls all weather and noise 
            C                      Dm 
Playing the changes for all of the boys 
          Bb               F 
Holding a candle up to my hand 
           C 
Making me feel so incredible
