Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - American girl

^DWell she was an ^E7American girl. ^GRaised on ^Apromises ^DShe couldn't help ^E7thinking that there was a ^Glittle more to life ^Asomewhere else After all it was a ^Dgreat big world ^Gwith lots of places to ^Emrun to ^AAnd if she had to die tryin' she had one little promise she was gonna keep

^GOh yeah, ^Aallright, ^Dtake it easy baby ^Bmmake it last all night ^G She was ^A an American ^Dgirl

^DWell it was kinda cold ^E7 that night ^GShe stood alone on the ^A balcony ^DYeh, she could hear the ^E7cars roll by, out on ^G four-fortyone like ^Awaves crashing on the beach And for one des'rate ^Dmoment there ^Ghe crept back in her ^Emmemory ^AGod it's so painful when something that's so close is still so far to reach.

^GOh yeah, ^Aallright, ^Dtake it easy baby ^Bmmake it last all night ^G She was ^A an American ^Dgirl
