[Intro]
EADA  EADA  EADA  EADA
 
[Verse 1]
B5
She wakes up in the morning
A5                        E A D A
with a pain in her jet black head
B5
decaf coffee in her hand
A5               E A D A
and A Marboro Red
C#m
She drives down to the office
A5
in her Japanese car
E
With her radio blasting,
she thinks of takin it too far
Dsus2
But today she'll pay the bills
A5
She won't think about the thrills
B5
That pass away
 
[Chorus]
E A D A                E A D A
She's an all American girl
E A D A            E A D A
An all American girl
A5
And she'll live and die
B5
in this man's world
                   E A D A   E A D A
An all-American girl
 
[Verse 2]
B5
Her eyes are black as leather
A5                        E ADA
and her hair is killer red
B5
How could she keep the baby
A5                             E A D A
when she can barely keep her head
C#m
She don't owe nobody nothing
A
cause she ain't on the street
E
But these drinks are gettin heavy
and the tips are getting weak
Dsus2
And she don't understand
A5
why she can't crawl out of the sand
B5
And break away
 
[Chorus]
 
[Bridge]
C#m
Her lover never came home
A5
It's half past three
E
Today her best friend told her He's HIV
Dsus2
Somethings got to give somewhere
A5
Forcing circles into squares
B5
She keeps pushing on
 
[Chorus 2]
 
[Outro]
EADA  EADA  EADA  EADA
