Verse:
A     D          G               F#
If I could, Iʼd be your little spoon

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

Youʼre the sun, youʼve never seen the

Well, Iʼm not the moon, Iʼm not even a
