[Eb]
In downtown Modesto I was working the holiday [Ab] in
I
[Eb] was sick with a gig that would last us throughout the [Bb] weekend
I
[Eb] was singing a new song I'd wrote [G] on the way [Ab] into town
When [Eb] she came in the front door I found [Bb] her place to [Eb] sit down
Hey, I knew right away that she liked the words to [Ab] my song
Oh, [Eb] she stared at the guitar, followed the [Bbm] finger [Bb] too long
[Eb] And she had the likeness of a girl I'd [G] seen [Ab] in my dreams
But
[Eb] lights can do wonders with makeup [Bb] and faded [Eb] blue jeans
And the last thing I needed was somebody messing [Ab] up my [Gb] [Db] mind
[Ab] So [Eb] I found a hundred reasons for looking away [Bb] one more time
[D] [Eb] She could cause me to sink back down and fall out of love [Ab] with guitar
[Eb] And blow all my chances of [Bb] being a big [Eb] singing star
Then on the other hand, with one passing glance I could tell she was young [Ab] for her age
[Eb] Yeah, she got through looking better as she got down closer [Bb] to the stage
And [Eb] as she sipped on her wine I knew just the [Bbm] kind [B] she would [Ab] be
[Eb] And somehow I knew she was here [Fm] to do [Bb] bad [Eb] things to me
And the last thing I needed was somebody messing [Ab] up my mind
[Db] [Ab]
So [Eb] I found a hundred reasons for [Eb] looking away [G] one more [Bb] time
She [Eb] could cause me to sink back down and fall out of [B] love [Ab] with guitar
And [Eb] blow all my chances of [Bb] being a big [Eb] singing star
So let's play it, think about it
[Ab] [Db] [Ab]
[Eb]
[Bb]
I was right
[Fm] She [Eb] could cause me to sink back down and fall out of [G] love with [Ab] guitar
[Eb] And blow all my chances of being [Bb] a big singing [Eb] star
[Gb] [Eb]
