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 C F C x 3 A D G D x 2 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 D A G x 2 End on D
