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
