[Verse]
C               Am
Well, she was an American girl
F         G
Raised on promises
C                 Am                   F
She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life
G
Somewhere else
G                  F
After all it was a great big world
Am
With lots of places to run to
G
And if she had to die trying
G                                            G
She had one little promise she was going to keep
[Chorus]
F         G
Oh yeah, all right
C
Take it easy baby
Am
Make it last all night
F        G             C
She was an American girl
[Verse 2]
C                   Am
Well, it was kind of cold that night
F                    G
She stood alone on her balcony
C                  Am
She could see the cars roll by
F
Out on 441
       G
Like waves crashing on the beach
G                       C
And for one desperate moment there
Am
He crept back in her memory
G
God, it's so painful
G                                                         G
It's something that's so close but still so far out of reach
[Chorus]
F         G
Oh yeah, all right
C
Take it easy baby
Am
Make it last all night
F        G             C
She was an American girl
[Chorus]
F          G
Oh yeah, all right
C
Take it easy baby
Am
Make it last all night
F           F
Oh yeah, all right
C
Take it easy baby
Am
Oh, take it easy now
