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?

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
