[Intro]
 
B   B
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
             B
She puts her makeup on
Like graffiti on the
             E
walls of the heartland
              B
She's got her little
book of conspiracies
             F#
Right in her hand
       B
She is paranoid like
Endangered species
              E
headed into extinction
       B
She is one of a kind
          F#
She's the last of
             B
the American girls
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
              B
She wears her overcoat
For the coming of
            E
the nuclear winter
       B
She is riding her bike
Like a fugitive
            F#
of critical mass
           B
She's on a hunger strike
For the ones who won't
            E
make it for dinner
           B
She makes enough to survive
                         F#
For a holiday of working class
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
        B
She's a runaway of the
  B7                 E    Em
establishment incorporated
            B
She won't cooperate
          F#
She's the last of
             B    E B E B E
E
the American girls

[Verse 3]
 
She plays her
B
vinyl records
Singing songs on the
          E
eve of destruction
        B
She's a sucker for
All the criminals
             F#
breaking the laws
         B
She will come in first
For the end of the
              E
western civilization
         B
She's an endless war
Like a hero for
         F#
the lost cause
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
       B
Like a hurricane
       B7
In the heart of
         E     Em
the devastation
        B
She's a natural disaster
          F#
She's the last of
             B    E B E B E
E
the American girls
