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?

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
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
