 x3
 I'll never  forget  you my American  love
 and I'll always  remember  you, wild  as they come
 and though  if I saw you, I'd pretend  not to know
 The place  where you were in my heart  is now closed
 I already  live with too  many ghosts
 Now everybody  lately  is living  up in space
 Flying  through transmissions  on invisible airwaves
 With everything  discovered just waiting  to be known
 What's  left for God to teach  from his throne?
 And who  will forgive  us when he's gone?
 So take  what you need  now Honey
and  do what you like
Don't  worry about me,  Momma, I'm all  right
 And I  can't stand the weather
 No I never  liked the rain
 We drink  on the job  then we go home  early
 and I remember  how she looked so good  in that dress
 Now she  just screams how I promised  her more than this
 Take it easy  baby
It  ain't over yet
So  take what you need  now Honey
and  do what you like
Don't  worry about me,  Momma, I'm all  right
 and if  there's something you need
 and  if there's something you  find
whatever  gets  you through the night
whatever  gets  you through the night
 I never  will forget  you my  American love
 and I'll always  remember  you, wild  as they do  come
Umhm
 end on

I'll n[C#m]ever forg[B]et you my A[A]merican lo[E]ve
and I'll al[C#m]ways rem[B]ember you, w[A]ild as they [E]come
and th[A]ough if I saw you, I'd p[B]retend not to k[C#m]now
The p[A]lace where you were in my h[B]eart is now c[C#m]losed
I alr[A]eady live with t[B]oo many ghos[E]ts

Now ev[C#m]erybody la[B]tely is li[A]ving up in s[E]pace
F[C#m]lying through [B]transmissions on i[A]nvisible [E]airwaves
With ev[A]erything discovered just wa[B]iting to be k[C#m]nown
Wha[A]t's left for God to [B]teach from his [C#m]throne?
And w[A]ho will for[B]give us when he's [E]gone?

So t[A]ake what you n[E]eed now Honey

[A]Don't worry about [E]me, Momma, I'm a[B]ll right

And [C#m]I can't stand the w[B]eather
No I [A]never liked the [E]rain
We dr[C#m]ink on the j[B]ob then we go h[A]ome ea[E]rly
and I r[A]emember how she looked so g[B]ood in that [C#m]dress
Now s[A]he just screams how I p[B]romised her more than [C#m]this
Take it [A]easy baby
[B]It ain't over [E]yet

[A]So take what you n[E]eed now Honey
[A]and do what you [E]like
[A]Don't worry about m[E]e, Momma, I'm al[B]l right

and [A]if there's something you n[E]eed
an[A]d if there's something you[E] find
[A]whatever g[B]ets you through the [C#m]night
[A]whatever g[B]ets you through the [E]night

I nev[C#m]er will f[B]orget you m[A]y American lo[E]ve
and I'll al[C#m]ways rem[B]ember you, w[A]ild as they do[E] come
[A]Umhm[B]
