[E]
I'm going to sing a little bit of it.
Well, she [B] was [F#] an American
[A] girl, [B] raised on Pompeii.
[E] She [F#] couldn't help thinking that there [A] was a little more light [B] somewhere else.
After all, it [E] wasn't safe to run [A] when life took place [F#m] in Seoul.
[B] And if she had to die, try and see the woman who promised she was gonna keep.
[A] Oh [B] yeah, [E] alright, let's take it easy, baby.
[C#m] It can last all [A] night.
She [B] was an [E] American girl.
Well, it was [F#] kinda cold that night.
[A] She felt alone [B] on a balcony.
[E] She could [F#] see the cars roll by out [A] on 441.
[B] Like waves crashing on the beach.
And for one [E] day, the moment said, [A] keep her [F#m] vacuum memory.
[B]
God, it's so painful.
Something is so close, but still so far out of reach.
[A] Oh [B] yeah, alright, [E] let's take it [B] easy, [C#m] baby.
It can last all [A] night.
[B] She was an [E] American girl.
