D E7
Well, she was an American girl
G A
Raised on promises
D E7
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
G
Was a little more to life... somewhere else
A D
After all it was a great big world
G Em
With lots of places to run to
A
And if she had to die... tryin' she...
A
Had one little promise she was gonna keep
Chorus
G A D
Oh yeah, all right, take it easy, baby,
Bm
Make it last all night
G A D
She was... an American girl
D E7
Well, it was kinda cold that night
G A
She stood alone on the balcony
D E7
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
G A
Out on 441... like waves... crashin' on the beach
A D
And for one desperate moment there
G Em
He crept back in her memory
A
God it's so painful when something that’s so close
A
Is still so far out of reach
Chorus
G A D
Oh yeah, all right, take it easy, baby,

Make it last all night
G A D
She was... an American girl
