Intro- C G F G
C G
She said how did you become so hard to handle?
Am F
Holding on to something you can’t see.

As you spray paint your love songs like a vandal.
Am Am/G D/F#
I said, I guess I let my lovers get the best of me.

See it’s one more night,

Another drink to drown this stage-fright.
G G#m Am
I’ll play one more song and I’ll feel so much better.

If she wants to come along, I might just let her.

listening for a love song I can call my friend.

As this old car careens,
G C G
I’m heading for those sweet dreams around the bend

She said it’s time you started thinking ‘bout forever,

Make an honest woman of that girl.

I said it ain’t like she said boy it’s now or never,
Am G D/F#
Who am I to bring a child into this world?

To watch me play another show,
C
with twenty-five more towns to go,
G G#m Am
while the encore keeps him up on past his bedtime.

As my lady goes crazy just to keep from getting lazy

And I’ll head for the back door,

knowing I could have given so much more,

And someone whispers hey, you’ll get em next time.
