Chord American Girl by Tom Petty

verse 1 D well she was an E7 american girl . G raised on A promises D she couldn’t help E7 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 A and if she had to die tryin’ she had one little promise she was gonna keep chorus G oh yeah , A allright , D take it easy baby Bm make it last all night G she was A an american D girl verse 2 D well it was kinda cold E7 that night G she stood alone on the A balcony D yeh , she could hear the E7 cars roll by , out on G four - fortyone like A waves crashing on the beach and for one des’rate D moment there G he crept back in her Em memory A god it’s so painful when something that’s so close is still so far to reach . * * chorus
