You called all the way from America
E
Said "Hang onto love girl"
Aadd9/E Badd11
But the weeks and the months and the years
E Aadd9/E
Passed by...
E
And my eyes couldn't stand the strain
Aadd9/E Badd11
Of that promised love
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
All the way from America
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
All the way from America
E Aadd9/E
You called all the way from America
E
Said I'll soon be home girl
Aadd9/E Badd11
And years and the tears and the fears,
E Aadd9/E
Passed by...
E
And my heart couldn't stand the pain
Aadd9/E Badd11
of that promised love
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
All the way from America
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
All the way from America
E Aadd9/E
I stayed all alone and I waited round
E
For you to knock at my door
Aadd9/E
But the knock never came
Badd11
and no ring
E Aadd9/E
At all....
E
And now I sit and wonder why
Aadd9/E Badd11
You made that first call
E Aadd9/E
All the way way from America
Badd11
I don't believe I'll stay here
E Aadd9/E Badd11
I don't think I want to wait here anymore
Aadd9/E Badd11
And if you search for me baby
E Aadd9/E Badd11
Better bring some more love than you declared
E Aadd9/E E Badd11 Aadd9/E
All the way from America
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
All the way from America
Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
E
And my heart couldn't stand the pain
Aadd9/E Badd11
of that promised love
E Aadd9/E E Badd11 Aadd9/E
All the way from America
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
All the way from America
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
All the way from America
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E Badd11 E
[pause]
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E [fade]
