Intro:

Aadd9/

You called all the way from America

Said "Hang onto love girl"

Aadd9/

But the weeks and the months and the years

Aadd9/

Passed by...

And my eyes couldn't stand the strain

Aadd9/

Of that promised love

Aadd9/

All the way from America

Aadd9/

All the way from America

Aadd9/

You called all the way from America

Said I'll soon be home girl

Aadd9/

And years and the tears and the fears,

Aadd9/

Passed by...

And my heart couldn't stand the pain

Aadd9/

of that promised love

Aadd9/

All the way from America

Aadd9/

All the way from America

Aadd9/

I stayed all alone and I waited round

For you to knock at my door

Aadd9/

But the knock never came

and no ring

Aadd9/

At all....

And now I sit and wonder why

Aadd9/

You made that first call

Aadd9/

All the way way from America

I don't believe I'll stay here

Aadd9/

I don't think I want to wait here anymore

Aadd9/

And if you search for me baby

Aadd9/

Better bring some more love than you declared

Aadd9/

All the way from America

Aadd9/

All the way from America

Aadd9/

And my heart couldn't stand the pain

Aadd9/

of that promised love

Aadd9/

All the way from America

Aadd9/

All the way from America

Aadd9/

All the way from America

Aadd9/

[pause]

Aadd9/

E [fade]
