Intro: C E Am F 

Verse 1:  

    C                       E 
I met a girl with a lip tattoo 
   Am                       F 
She looked skinny as a rail in those high heel shoes 
   C                        E  
She’s got a spot above Webster Hall 
   Am                       F 
Claims to run this town with her hair in a ball  
  C E Am F 
 (Ooooo, ooooo)   
C                         E 
She was small town girl USA 
  Am                        F 
hell, her daddys bagging groceries, living day by day 
  C                         E 
I know she knows it aint her place 
  Am                        F 
Shes tired of that living and the same clichés 
  C                         E 
Now She’s the first in her family to hold a degree  
  Am                                F 
and her mommas waiting tables down at Ruby Tuesdays 
  C                         E        
&  I aint saying that at all like its mean 
  Am                                    F                           
cause her momma probably taught the girl     

damn near everything 
 

C                 E               Am 
 So she’s gonna do what she wants to do 
              G                         C 
She’s gonna wear a one piece bathing suit 
              E                  Am 
She’s gonna smile, she’s gonna scream 
                G                  F 
She’s a small town girl in a big city 
                            G 
Yeah, she’s making her moves 

She’s got American Dreams (C  E Am F )

Bridge: 

C                               E 
Dreams don’t come from anyone else 

They’re born in the beating deep inside  
          Am 
of your chest 
                F                                                           
Lord knows they do 
        C 
And the harder you try the harder you might fall 
        E                                   
But you’ll never learn nothing if it 
                  Am 
aint ever your fault 
                         F  
So go on and do what you do   
                             (C  E Am F ) 
Come on and make us a move Oooo, oooo yeahh
