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."
And I said "I might, I might, I might."
She said "Well, that's alright.
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
