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

You're the sun, you've never seen the night
But you hear its song from the morning birds
Well, I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star
But awake at night I'll be singing to the birds

G      A   Bm  F#m  G  A     D
Don't wait for me,  I can't come

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

D
You're the one
G            F#
You're all I ever wanted
D                A
I think I'll regret this

Chorus:
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I finally do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to be the best American girl

Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I think I do
