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
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

E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
All the way from America
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
All the way from America

I stayed all alone and I waited round
E
For you to knock at my door

At all....
E
And now I sit and wonder why

You made that first call
E Aadd9/E
All the way way from America

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

All the way from America
E Aadd9/E E Aadd9/E
