Strumming pattern D D D DU DU Chords used: | C| Am| F| G| C| C This is the story of how I learned my lesson Who would have thought that true love could be the perfect intervention? Am Well anyway, here I am a changed man A new life, a new love, a new game plan F Promise me that you’ll never let them change us G Never let them break us because your love is contagious C This love is outrageous, This love should be famous (same chord styling throughout the whole song—fits with the tempo) I washed my hands of my past and my deceiving Now you’re my new faith and the road that I believe in Who would have thought that one girl could clean me up like Purell Charge me up like Duracell, crack the whip and give me Hell? Never a saint, but don’t label me a sinner I’ve dealt some dirty cards, but that doesn’t mean I’ll hit and quit her Baby I could be your winner, I could be your chicken dinner Don’t buy into all the chatter It’s just getting in our way They’re trying to spread rumors I tell you, you’re my main girl I know that I’m not perfect I’ve done things I’m ashamed of Don’t listen to them, baby I tell you you’re my main girl Ghosts of the past are like tabloids in a magazine Selling you my story like the main event on TMZ They paint you a picture of a man that I don’t wanna be Can’t they just accept that ZP has come clean? While they’re trying to bring us down, I’m trying to get us out I try to halt the negative, I try to calm the doubt These walls that we’re living in are strangling our fate I won’t give up, just like Gilligan, trying to escape Man, I’m stuck on an island but I’m going to give you more I’ll build you a boat out of kisses and we’ll sail to any port Just sit back and relax, girl Because I’m going to be your captain And when it all ends And Mary Ann is home back in Kansas And Mr. Howell has topped the Dow And Ginger is with her cameras Well I’ll be on the mainland laying with my Mrs. Yeah, you heard me right, I said Mrs. , not a mistress [chorus] We could do good things together Be my bread, I’ll be your cheddar All I want is to be with you day and night You are the only one for me [chorus]
