American Girl Chords by Elle King

[Intro]
D


[Verse]
D                 E7            G          A
 Well, she was an American Girl, raised on promises
D                  E7 
 She couldn't help thinking that there
       G                   A
 Was a little more to life somewhere else
                     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'
                                            G
 She had one little promise she was gonna keep


[Chorus]
     A      D
Oh yeah, alright
                 Bm                 G
Take it easy baby, make it last all night
     A              D
She was an American Girl!


[Verse]
D                   E7
 Well, it was kinda cold that night
 G                      A
 She stood alone on her balcony
D                         E7
 Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by 
        G        A
 Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
                       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
                          G
 Is still so far out of reach!


[Chorus]
     A      D
Oh yeah, alright
                 Bm                 G
Take it easy baby, make it last all night
     A              D
She was an American Girl!
