American Beauty

Intro:     D        G    D    x 2 


D                                        A 
 Everything in your shadow turns to vapour 

 You pierce my heart like it was paper 
D                                  A 
 Radio's crackling with the headlines 
                        G                       D 
 Sun upon your shoulder, wind's in the phone line 
                               A 
 American beauty will you be mine 
                       G               D 
 Out on this highway counting white lines 


D                                              A 
 I remember last summer drifting through our eyes 
                         G 
 We're in the high grass, my finger in your hemline 
D                                              A 
 Boot heels click clacking, honey, when you shine 
                     G 
 All them blue skies, ??? 
D                                  A 
 American beauty wherever you'd sigh 
                    G                  D 
 Out on this highway counting white lines

D                                            A 
 Your hand cups your breast pledging your time 

 The things we carried, shining skylines 
D                             A 
 Falling sparrow, sky torn apart 
                   G                         D 
 Dark shining arrow, your kiss pierces my heart 
                           A 
 American beauty forever mine 
                    G                  D 
 Out on this highway counting white lines
