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

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
