During the verses, pre-choruses, and choruses, the second guitar plays
the same chords in open position without the hammer-ons or intro riff.
VERSE 1:
C Am
If you crave for romance I will show up bearing flowers
G F G
and if you need a good listener I could hear you talk for hours
C Am
If you're in need of something stronger I will be your man
G F E
and if you want somebody just to make the effort I'll do everything I can
PRE-CHORUS 1: (note the F comes a beat before the singing)
F F# G
Just don't go pinning all your hopes down on me
Gm F# F
cause i can make you a pretty promise girl
F# G
but that's no guarantee.
CHORUS:
C Am
Cause I'm no perfect soul
G F G
These days I'm rolling out of control
C Am
but all I know to be true
G F E
is I got good intentions for you
VERSE 2:
C Am
So if you need a cleaner I'll take out the trash
G F G
and if you're short on money girl well I can spare a little cash
C Am
and if you cannot hold your liquor well honey I'll hold back your hair
G F E
If all you need is some distraction girl well hey what's that over there
PRE-CHORUS 2:
F F# G
I swear you'll never find me whoring around
Gm F# F F# G
well I know there's plenty other ways that I can let you down
CHORUS:
C Am
Cause I'm no perfect soul
G F G
These days I'm rolling out of control
C Am
but all I know to be true
G F E
is I got good intentions for you
BRIDGE: (Second guitar plays the lead pre-chorus part while the lead plays this)
Dm G
So if you need a dancing partner I'll bust out some awkward moves
Dm G
And if you settle for some loser girl I sure know how to lose
CHORUS: (Second guitar does not play the first two lines)
C Am
Cause I'm no perfect soul
G F G
These days I'm mostly out of control
C Am
but all I know to be true
G F G
see I got these good intentions for you good intentions for you
CHORUS:
C Am
I'm no perfect soul
G F G
these days well that's just the way I roll
C Am
and all I know to be true
G
you see I got these good intentions
F G C
I got these good intentions good intentions for you
Am
I'm no perfect soul
G F G
these days these days I'm outta control
C Am
but all I know to be true
G F
is I got good intentions for you
(The songs fades out on the record, but in live performances he ends on an open E)
