[F] (riff)                                 [Bb] x2

She comes out on [F]Fridays every-[Bb]time

Stands out in a [F]line

 [C]I could have been [Bb]anyone she’d [F]seen     (riff)

 [Bb]She waits another [F]week to fall apart [Bb]

She couldn't make another [F]day

 [C]I wish it was [Bb]anyone but me [C]

I could have been [Bb]anyone you see [C]

She had something [Gm]breakable just [Bb]under her skin

 [Dm]American [Bb]girls all weather and [F]noise

Playing the [C]changes for all of the [Dm]boys

Holding a [Bb]candle up to my hand [F]

Making me [C]feel so incredible [Bb]

She comes out of [F]closets every night [Bb]

But, then she locks herself away[F]   [C]

Well, she could keep e-[Bb]verything from me [C]

I could have been [Bb]anyone, you see. [C]

She's nothing but [Gm]porcelain und-[Bb]erneath her skin

[Dm]American [Bb]girls all weather and [F]noise

Playing the [C]changes for all of the [Dm]boys

Holding a [Bb]candle right up to my hand [F]

 Making me [C]feel so incredible

 [F]Little shiver [Bb]shaking me everyday

 [F]But I could get this [Bb]same thing anywhere

 [F]So if she [Bb]goes away

well [C]it's alright and [Bb]I'm ok, hey

 [F]She said [Bb]come back again tonight

 [F]And, I said I might I might I might

 [F]She said well [Bb]that's alright

 [Am]If it's alright, [Bb]it's alright with [Dm]you

And it's alright [Am]if it's alright with me[C]  [(Bb)]

I waited for an [F]hour last Friday [Bb]night

She never came around [F]

 [C]She took almost [Bb]everything from [F]me   [Bb]   (riff)

I'm going through my [F]closets

Trying on her [Bb]clothes, almost every-[F]day

 [C]I could have been [Bb]anyone you [C]see

I wish it was [Bb]anyone but me  [C]

Nothing but [Gm]pills and ashes [Bb]under my skin

[Dm]American [Bb]girls all weather and [F]noise

Playing the [C]changes for all of the [Dm]boys

Holding a [Bb]candle right up to my hand [F]

Making me [C]feel so incredible [Dm]

If I made you [Bb]cry, please tell me [F]why

I’ll try a-[C]gain if you let me [Dm]try

[Bb]American girls [F]all feathers and cream

Coming to [C]bed, so edible  [Dm]

American [Bb]girls, oh, American [F]Girls

American [C]Girls, oh, oh, oh, oh[Dm]

American [Bb]girls, oh, American [F]Girls

American [C]Girls, oh, oh, oh, oh[Dm]
