[Verse 1]
A                   E                  A
   She comes out on Fridays every time

                E    B
Stands out in a line

                  A
I could have been anyone she'd seen

A                   E                 A
  She waits another week to fall apart

                              E   B
She couldn't make another day

              A          B
I wish it was anyone but me

                  A          B
I could have been anyone you see

                  F#m             A
She had something breakable just under her skin
[Chorus 1]
C#m         A                     E
  American girls all weather and noise

            B                      C#m
Playing the changes for all of the boys

          A               E
Holding a candle up to my hand

           B                 B
Making me feel so incredible
[Verse 2]
A                   E             A
    She comes out of closets every night

                             E    B
But then she locks herself away

                     A             B
Where she could keep anything from me

                  A          B
I could have been anyone you see

                  F#m          A
She's nothing but porcelain underneath her skin
[Chorus 1]
C#m         A                     E
  American girls all weather and noise

            B                      C#m
Playing the changes for all of the boys

          A               E
Holding a candle up to my hand

           B
Making me feel so incredible
[Bridge]
E                                    E
  Little shivers shaking me everyday, but I could get the same thing anywhere

E                            F#m                B
  So if she goes away, well,   it's alright and I'm okay, "Hey"

E                                E
  she said, "Come back again tonight." And I said "I might, I might,

   E                                      F#m                 G#m               C#m
I might." She said "Well, that's alright.    If it's alright, it's alright with you

                                  A       B
then it's alright if it's alright with me
[Verse 3]
A                  E                A
   I waited for an hour last Friday night

                E      B
She never came around

                A               E     A
She took almost everything from me

                     B
I'm going through my closets

              A                    E
Trying on her clothes, almost everyday

B                A
 I could've been anyone you see

B                   A         B
 God I wish it was anyone but me

                    F#m              A
There's nothing but pills and ashes under my skin
[Chorus 1]
C#m         A                     E
  American girls all weather and noise

            B                      C#m
Playing the changes for all of the boys

          A               E
Holding a candle up to my hand

           B
Making me feel so incredible
[Bridge]
C#m                 A
  If I made you cry, please tell me why

E                      B
  Cause I'll try again if you let me try

C#m              A                 E
  American girls, all feathers and cream

          B
Come into bed so edible
