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

 <br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Aadd9/E   E    Aadd9/E    E    Aadd9/E <br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
     E<br/>
 And my heart couldn't stand the pain<br/>
 <br/>
    Aadd9/E       Badd11<br/>
 of that promised love<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 E Aadd9/E  E Badd11 Aadd9/E <br/>
