Intro: 
 
D E7 G A D E7 G A7
Well, she was an American girl, raised on promises
D E7 G A
She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life, somewhere else
D E7 G A
After all it was a great big world, with lots of places to run to
D G Em
Yeah and if she had to die tryin', she, had one little promise she was gonna keep
A
Chorus: 
Oh yeah, alright, take it easy baby
G A D
Make it last all night, she was an American girl.
Bm G A D
Well it was kind of cold that night, she stood alone on the balcony
D E7 G A
Yeh, she could hear the cars roll by out on four forty one like waves crashing on the beach,
D E7 G A
And for one desperate moment there, he crept back in her memory
D G Em
God it's so painful when something that's so close, is still so far out of reach
A
