[Intro] E x3 [Verse 1]
      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 2]
      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 3]
    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 2]
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
[Ending] E
