A  D  G  F#m  D  A  D  G  A  D


[Verse 1]

A     D          G               F#
If I could, I'd be your little spoon
      D       A  D     G  A   F#
And kiss your fingers forevermore
A          D         G              F#
But, big spoon, you have so much to do
    D       A  D    G  A     D
And I have nothing ahead of me
A          D            G              F#
You're the sun, you've never seen the night
     D        A   D             G  A   F#
But you hear its song from the morning birds
A               D         G          F#
But I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star
     D         A    D        G      A      D          
But awake at night I'll be singing to the birds

Don't wait for me, I can't go


[Chorus]

D           G          Bm              F#m            G
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
      D     A
But I do, I think I do
    D              G          Bm
And you're an All-American boy
           F#m          G         D             G    A    D
I guess I couldn't help trying to be your best American girl

A         D
You're the one

You're all I ever wanted

I think I'll regret this

D  G  A  Bm  G  A  D  D

G      A               Bm              F#m           G

And you're an All-American boy
           F#m           G        D           A          D
I guess I couldn't help trying to be the best American girl
D      G              Bm                F#m          G
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me

But I do, I think I do
