Intro: E x3


Verse one:
C#m B A E
I'll never forget you my American love
C#m B A E
and I'll always remember you, wild as they come
A B C#m
and though if I saw you, I'd pretend not to know
A B C#m
The place where you were in my heart is now closed
A B E
I already live with too many ghosts


Verse two:
C#m B A E
Now everybody lately is living up in space
C#m B A E
Flying through transmissions on invisible airwaves
A B C#m
With everything discovered just waiting to be known
A B C#m
What's left for God to teach from his throne?
A B E
And who will forgive us when he's gone?


Chorus:
A E
So take what you need now Honey
A E
and do what you like
A E B
Don't worry about me, Momma, I'm all right


Verse three:
C#m B
And I can't stand the weather
A E
No I never liked the rain
C#m B A E
We drink on the job then we go home early
A B C#m
and I remember how she looked so good in that dress
A B C#m
Now she just screams how I promised her more than this
A
Take it easy baby
B E
It ain't over yet


Chorus two:
A E
So take what you need now Honey
A E
and do what you like
A E B
Don't worry about me, Momma, I'm all right

A E
and if there's something you need
A E
and if there's something you find
A B C#m
whatever gets you through the night
A B E
whatever gets you through the night


Outro:
C#m B A E
I never will forget you my American love
C#m B A E
and I'll always remember you, wild as they do come
A B
Umhm

end on E
