(D)Well, she was an E7)American girl, (G)raised on (A)promises 
(D)She couldn't help E7)thinking that there was a (G)little more to life (A)somewhere else 
After all it was a (D)great big world (G)with lots of places to (Em)run to 
(A)nd if she had to die tryin', she had one little promise she was gonna keep 
 
 
       (G)Oh yeh,(A)alright, (D)take it easy baby 
       (Bm)Make it last all night (G)she was (A)an American (D)girl. 
 
(D)Well it was kind of E7)cold that night, (G)she stood alone on the (A)balcony 
(D)Yeh, she could hear the E7)cars roll by out on (G)four forty one like (A)waves crashing on the beach, 
And for one desperate (D)moment there (G)he crept back in her (Em)memory 
(A)God it's so painful when something that's so close, is still so far out of reach
