Intro: E MajorE x3


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

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


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


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

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

  A augmentedA             E MajorE
and if there's something you need
 A augmentedA             E MajorE
and if there's something you find
A augmentedA     BB          C# minorC#m
whatever gets you through the night
A augmentedA     BB          E MajorE
whatever gets you through the night


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