D                                        A
 Everything in your shadow turns to vapour
 You pierce my heart like it was paper
D                                  A
 Radio's crackling with the headlines
                        G                       D
 Sun upon your shoulder, wind's in the phone line
                               A
 American beauty will you be mine
                       G               D
 Out on this highway counting white lines
D                                              A
 I remember last summer drifting through our eyes
                         G
 We're in the high grass, my finger in your hemline
D                                              A
 Boot heels click clacking, honey, when you shine
                     G
 All them blue skies, ???
D                                  A
 American beauty wherever you'd sigh
                    G                  D
 Out on this highway counting white lines
 C       F   C          A

D                                            A
 Your hand cups your breast pledging your time
 The things we carried, shining skylines
D                             A
 Falling sparrow, sky torn apart
                   G                         D
 Dark shining arrow, your kiss pierces my heart
                           A
 American beauty forever mine
                    G                  D
 Out on this highway counting white lines
 D       A   G
                 x 2
