Verse 1

BWell she was an C7American girl.
BRaised on Cpromises
BShe couldn't help C7thinking that there was
a Blittle more to life Csomewhere else
After all it was a Bgreat big world
Bwith lots of places to c run to
CAnd if she's gonna die tryin' she
had one little promise she was gonna keep

Chorus

BOh yeah,C alright, Btake it easy baby g make it last all nightB
She was C an American Bgirl

Verse 2

Well it was kinda cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
Yeh she could hear the cars roll by,
out on four-fortyone like waves crashing on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
is still so far to reach

(Chorus)
