Intro

A C♯m D F♯m E

Verse 1

A Well don't you stop C♯m wasting time

Come back D down the line

I'm F♯m right where you E left me be-A-fore

I can't say I've C♯m been behaved

You'd not believe me D anyways

There's F♯m been other E women of D course

But hold me to A this one F♯m D

I won't make the A same F♯m mistakes any-D-more

Come on now Bm darlin' please E darken my A door

C♯m D F♯m E A

Verse 2

With me is where C♯m you belong

So bring your-D-self back home

We'll F♯m tear this town E down to the A ground

White Water C♯m Tavern nights

Old songs and D cheap red wine

There's F♯m no finer E mess to be D found

I'll hold you to A this one F♯m D

I still hear your A footsteps F♯m crossing the D floor

Well come on now Bm darlin' please E darken my A door

A

Bridge

Your E bare feet on hardwood can D barely make a A sound

From the E kitchen to the bedroom with D all the lights A down

A glass of F♯m water and some E whiskey, the D smoke in your A hair

All I F♯m taste is that E perfume you D wear, all that perfume you

A Wear

Verse 3

A I don't expect that C♯m you to stay

Gone are the D good old days

But F♯ damn we were E sure somethin' A else

I've caused enough C♯m trouble here

So girl get it D in high gear

And F♯m come save me E from my-D-self

We'll hold to A this one F♯m D

I still taste that A god awful F♯ perfume you D wore

[EA riff]
