```chordpro
[D]Well she was an [E]American girl
[G]Raised on [A]promises
[D]She couldnt help [E]thinkin
That there was a [G]little more to life [A]somewhere else
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

[G]Oh yeah, [A]all right
[D]Take it easy, baby
[Bm]Make it last all [G]night
She was a[A]n American [D]girl

[D]Well it was kinda [E]cold that night
[G]She stood alone on her [A]balcony
[D]Yeah, she could hear the [E]cars roll by
Out on [G]441 like [A]waves crashin on the beach
And for one desperate [D]moment
There [G]he crept back in her [Em]memory
[A]God its so painful when something thats so close

Is still so far out of reach

[G]Oh yeah, [A]all right
[D]Take it easy, baby
[Bm]Make it last all [G]night
She was a[A]n American [D]girl
