\begin{verse}
\[D] Well she was an A\[E7]merican 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
\end{verse}
\begin{verse*}
After all it was a \[D]great big world
\[G] With lots of places to \[Em]run to
\[A]And if she had to die tryin' she had one little promise she was gonna keep
\end{verse*}
\begin{chorus}
\[G] Oh yeah, \[A] allright
\[D] Take it easy baby
\[Bm] Make it last all night
\[G] She was \[A] an American \[D]girl
\end{chorus}
\begin{repeatedchords}
\begin{verse}
\[D] Well it was kinda \[E7]cold that night
\[G]She stood alone on the \[A]balcony
\[D] Yeah, she could hear the \[E7]cars roll by
Out on \[G]four forty one like \[A]waves crashing on the beach
\end{verse}
\begin{verse*}
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 to reach
\end{verse*}
\end{repeatedchords}
