[Intro]
A5 D5 G5 F#5 D5 A5 D5
G5 A5 D5

[Verse 1]
A5         D5    G5             F#5
If I could,  I'd be your little spoon
    A5           D5      G5      F#5
And kiss your fingers forevermore
A5             D5    G5              F#5
But, big spoon,  you have so much to do 
    D5       A5   D5 G5   A5 D5  A5 D5 A5
And I have nothing  ahead of   me

[Verse 2]
D5 A5
     You're the sun,
D5       G5             F#5          A5
  you've never seen the night But you
             D5         G5
hear its song  from the morning birds
F#5        A5
   Well I'm  not the moon,
D5    G5         F#5
  I'm not even a star
     D5           G5        A5            D5
But awake at night  I'll be singing to the  birds

[Bridge]
G5     A5    B5   F#5   G5 A5          D5
  Don't  wait  for   me,  I  can't come

[Chorus]
D5          G5              A5            B5
Your mother wouldn't approve  Of how my mo
              D5         G5
ther raised me  But I do,
          A5
Oh I think  I do
    D5             G5         A5               B5
And you're an all American boy  I guess I could
               D5     G5
n't help trying  To be
             A5        D5 A5 D5 A5
your best American girl

[Verse 3]
G5 A5              D5
     You're the one
       G5         F#5
You're all I ever wanted
        D5         A5
I think I'll regret  this
