[F#]

[F#]
[C#m] [F#] [F#]
She's a queen looking bean in a sailor's dream
She gotta come clean, gotta say what she mean
She gotta fess up, yo, oh indeed
Then tell them how it is, B, bring Mutt speed
Sometimes I rhyme slow, [B] sometimes I rhyme quick
When it's time to get busy, you gotta hack the trick
It's a shame when the game [A#] leaves you out the frame
If you run for the center, you're [F#] losing and the winner
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better
When I'm feeling no pain
[F#m] See, I can picture every move that a man can make
He took steps, she fell in love, and that's your first mistake
You in a hole, gotta pull, but you shimmy up the wrong way
Hey, the sun's going down and I feel like it's my last
[F#]
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping around my backstage
And sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again
Yeah, sometimes the silence is just more valuable than life
She let her [G#] hair down, make frowns, that cost you love
Now the [D] big city got a grip on my lunch
[D#] But ain't a sunshine [G] soaking in her love
I've got [C#] sunlight in my life
I [F#m] can see her right back in a satin dress
In a room where you do [F#] what you don't confess
Sundown, sundown, sundown
A man could make it marvelous
Sundown, sundown, sundown
Yeah, she was looking fast in her faded jeans
Now she's a hard-loving woman, gotta know what I mean
She stepped up in the spot, she made the spot hot
Give it away, give it away, yeah!
And sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
And sundown, you'd better take care
If I find you been creeping around my backstage
And [B] sundown, you'd better take care
[E] If I find you been creeping around
If I find you been creeping [F#] around my backstage
And sometimes I think it's a sin
When [E] I feel like I'm winning when [F#] I lose again
I lose [G#] again, I lose again
[Em]
[F#] [Em] [F#]
I lose again, I lose again I'm
[F#]
