Verse 1:
                 F             Bb
She comes out on Fridays every time
                F
Stands out in a line
C                  Bb            
 I could have been anyone she'd 
F       F Bb F Bb    Bb
seen     (Riff 1)
                  F             Bb
She waits another week to fall apart
                          F
She couldn't make another day
C              Bb          C
 I wish it was anyone but me
                  Bb          C
I could have been anyone you see
                  Gm             
She had something breakable just 
Bb
under her skin

Chorus 1:
Dm         Bb                 
  American girls all weather and 
    F
noise
            C                      
Playing the changes for all of the 
Dm
boys
          Bb               F
Holding a candle up to my hand
           C
Making me feel so incredible


Verse 2:
Bb                   F            
    She comes out of closets every
 Bb
 night
              F
But then she locks herself away
C                     Bb         
 Where she could keep anything 
    C
from me
                  Bb          C
I could have been anyone you see
                  Gm       
She's nothing but porcelain 
   Bb
underneath her skin


Chorus 2: (same chords as chorus 1)
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


Interlude: (play intro riff with 
vocals)
F                Bb
  Little shivers shaking me everyday
F                     Bb
  But I could get the same thing 
anywhere
F           Bb
  So if she goes away
      Gm                C
Well, it's alright and I'm okay
     F            Bb
"Hey", she said, "Come back again 
tonight."
F              Bb
 And I said "I might, I might, I 
might."
F                 Bb
 She said "Well, that's alright.
Gm                 Am            
   If it's alright, it's alright 
     Dm
with you
                      Gm         
then it's alright if it's alright 
          C       Bb
with me


Verse 3:
                F                
I waited for an hour last Friday 
Bb
night
                F
She never came around
C                Bb               
 She took almost everything from 
F      F  Bb
me
                     F
I'm going through my closets
              Bb             
Trying on her clothes, almost 
       F
everyday
C                Bb
 I could've been anyone you see
C              Bb         C
 I wish it was anyone but me
                    Gm             
There's nothing but pills and ashes
 Bb
 under my skin


Chorus 3:
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
