D                          C#
Don't tell your mother I'm here
                           F#         B
Don't tell your mother I'm here...  tonight


[Verse 1]

B                          F#
Don't tell your mother I'm here tonight
D                           A
She thinks I'm like all the rest
E                                 B                  A
She thinks I'm gonna take you downstairs and get the best of you
B                          F#
Don't tell your father I'm here tonight
D                      A
He doesn't like me too much
E                        B                     A
He thinks I'm gonna get away with a little too much of you


[Chorus]

         E   B
But it's all right
G#               A
Parents are all alike
                  E
They want an All American Boy
        B
An All American Boy
G#                                A            E
Someone they can trust with their All American Girl


[Instrumental]

D C# F# B


[Verse 2]

B                          F#
I think that they know that I'm here with you
D                           A
Your daddy's coming downstairs
E                                 B                  A
He's gonna tell me to stay very far away from you
B                          F#
It doesn't matter what you tell them now
D                      A
I've seen this happen before
E                        B                     A
I'm not exactly what they have in mind or in store for you


[Chorus]

         E   B
But it's all right
G#               A
Parents are all alike
                  E
They want an All American Boy
        B
An All American Boy
G#                                A            E
Someone they can trust with their All American Girl
