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."

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
