Verse 1 

D                E7 
Well, she was an American girl 
G         A 
Raised on promises 
D                 E7 
She couldn't help thinkin' that there was a  
G                   A 
little more to life somewhere else 

A                  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' she had one little promise she was gonna keep 

G A D Bm O yeah, all right, take it easy, baby, make it last all night G A D She was an American girl
Verse 2 D E7 Well, it was kinda cold that night G A She stood alone on the balcony D E7 Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by G A Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach A 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 is still so far out of reach
G A D Bm O yeah, all right, take it easy, baby, make it last all night G A D She was an American girl
