[D]Well she was an [E]American girl
[G]Raised on [A]promises
[D]She couldn't help [E]thinking 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

that's one real promise she was gonna keep
[G]Oh yeah, [A]allright

Out on [G]441 like [A]waves crashing on the beach
And for one desperate [D]moment baby

But still so hard to reach
[G]Oh yeah, [A]allright
[D]Take it easy baby, [Bm]make it last all night
[G]She was, [A]an American [D]girl
