American Girls

Intro: | | verse 1: She comes out on Fridays every time Stands out in a line I could have been anyone she'd seen (Riff 1) She waits another week to fall apart She couldn't make another day I wish it was anyone but me I could have been anyone you see She had something breakable just under her skin Chorus 1: American girls all weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible verse 2: She comes out of closets every night But then she locks herself away Where she could keep anything from me I could have been anyone you see She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin Chorus 2: American girls all weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible Interlude: (play intro riff with vocals) Little shivers shaking me everyday But I could get the same thing anywhere So if she goes away Well, it's alright and I'm okay "Hey", she said, "Come back again tonight." And I said "I might, I might, I might." She said "Well, that's alright. If it's alright, it's alright with you then it's alright if it's alright with me verse 3: I waited for an hour last Friday night She never came around She took almost everything from me I'm going through my closets Trying on her clothes, almost everyday I could've been anyone you see I wish it was anyone but me There's nothing but pills and ashes under my skin Chorus 3: American girls all weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible
