American Girls

1. She comes out on Fridays every time

Stands out in a line

I could have been anyone she'd seen

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

R: 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

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

R: American girls all weather and noise

Playing the changes for all of the boys

Holding a candle right up to my hand

Making me feel so incredible

*: 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.

Gm Am Dm

If it's alright, it's alright with you

then it's alright if it's alright with me

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

R: American girls all weather and noise

Playing the changes for all of the boys

Holding a candle right up to my hand

Making me feel so incredible

If I made you cry, please tell me why

Cause I'll try again if you let me try

American girls, all feathers and cream

Come into bed so edible
