_ [D] _ Well, she was an American girl, [G] _ _ raised [A] on promises. _
_ [D] _ She couldn't [E] help but thinking that there [G] was a little more life _ [A] somewhere else.
_ After all, it [D] was a great big world [G] with lots of places [Em] to run to. _
[A] Yeah, and if she had to die, try and see,
that one little promise she was gonna [G] keep.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ Take it easy [Bm] baby, make it last [G] all night.
She [A] was an American [D] girl. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, it was [E] kinda cold that night.
[G] She stood alone [A] on the balcony.
_ [D] _ She could hear [E] the cars roll by at [G] a 441,
[A] like a wave crashing on the beach.
And for one desperate [D] moment there,
_ [G] she dread back in [Em] her memory.
_ [A] God, it's so painful, something that's so close,
but still so far out to breathe.
[G] _ _ Oh [A] yeah.
Take _ [D] _ it easy [Bm] baby, make it last all [G] night.
She was [A] an American [D] girl. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [Dm] Ladies and gentlemen, [G] _ get on your [A] feet. _ _
_ [G] _ Pay some rock and [A] roll respect [D]
to the [G] impenetrable,
to the [A] masterful, to the [D] eternal top penny. Shh. _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now breathe, _ _ _ _ free _ _ [A] fallin'. _ _
[D] Now breathe, _ [E] _ _ _
[D] free _ _ [E] fallin'. _ _
Now breathe, _ [E] _ _ _
[G] free _ fallin'.

[G] free falling
