E Aadd9/E
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
