[E] [Aadd9/E] [E]
[Aadd9/E] [E] [Aadd9/E] [E] [Aadd9/E] [E][Aadd9/E]
[E] [Aadd9/E] [E] [Aadd9/E] [E] [Aadd9/E] [E][Aadd9/E]
[Badd11] [Aadd9/E] [E]
[Badd11] [Aadd9/E] [E]

[E]You called all the way from America[Aadd9/E]

Said "Hang onto love girl"[E]

But the we[Aadd9/E]eks and the months and the years[Badd11]

[E]Passed by...[Aadd9/E]

And my eyes couldn't stand [E]the strain

Of [Aadd9/E]that promised love[Badd11]

[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E][E][Aadd9/E]

[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E][E][Aadd9/E]

You called al[E]l the way from Amer[Aadd9/E]ica

Said I'll soon be home girl[E]

And [Aadd9/E]years and the tears and the fe[Badd11]ars,

[E]Passed by...[Aadd9/E]

And my heart couldn't stand [E]the pain

of [Aadd9/E]that promised love[Badd11]

[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E][E][Aadd9/E]

[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E][E][Aadd9/E]

I stayed al[E]l alone and I waited r[Aadd9/E]ound

For you to knock at my door[E]

But the [Aadd9/E]knock never came

and no ri[Badd11]ng

[E]At all....[Aadd9/E]

And now I sit and wonder[E] why

You [Aadd9/E]made that firs[Badd11]t call

[E]All the way way from Ame[Aadd9/E]rica

I don't believe I'll stay h[Badd11]ere

[E]I don't think I want to wait her[Aadd9/E]e anymore[Badd11]

[Aadd9/E]And if you search for me baby[Badd11]

[E]Better bring some more love t[Aadd9/E]han you decla[Badd11]red

[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E][E][Badd11][Aadd9/E]

[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E][E][Aadd9/E]

[Aadd9/E] [E] [Aadd9/E] [E] [Aadd9/E]

And my heart couldn't stand [E]the pain

of [Aadd9/E]that promised love[Badd11]

[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E][E][Badd11][Aadd9/E]

[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E][E][Aadd9/E]

[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E][E][Aadd9/E]
