[Intro]

B      B

[Verse 1]

                         B
She puts her makeup on
Like graffiti on the
                         E
walls of the heartland
                       B
She's got her little
book of conspiracies
                     F#
Right in her hand
             B
She is paranoid like
Endangered species
                         E
headed into extinction
             B
She is one of a kind
                 F#
She's the last of
                        B
the American girls

[Verse 2]

                          B
She wears her overcoat
For the coming of
                     E
the nuclear winter
             B
She is riding her bike
Like a fugitive
                  F#
of critical mass
                  B
She's on a hunger strike
For the ones who won't
                    E
make it for dinner
                     B
She makes enough to survive
                                         F#
For a holiday of working class

[Chorus 1]

              B
She's a runaway of the
      B7                        E       Em
establishment incorporated
                   B
She won't cooperate
                 F#
She's the last of
                       B      E B E B E
E
the American girls

Gitar 2: "girls..."

[Verse 3]

She plays her
B
vinyl records
Singing songs on the
                 E
eve of destruction
              B
She's a sucker for
All the criminals
                      F#
breaking the laws
               B
She will come in first
For the end of the
                   E
western civilization
                 B
She's an endless war
Like a hero for
                F#
the lost cause

[Chorus 2]

            B
Like a hurricane
            B7
In the heart of
               E         Em
the devastation
               B
She's a natural disaster
                 F#
She's the last of
                        B        E B E B E
E
the American girls

walls of the heartland
                       B
She's got her little
                   B7
book of conspiracies
                     F#
Right in her hand
                B
She will come in first
