[Em] [G] [Em] [Am]
Well, [C] [G]
[Em] I could tell [G] you she's a bad idea for the good it would do.
You got a Chevrolet as old as her.
Hell, you bought it new.
[Am]
[C] Nice to meet you, [G] ma'am.
[Em] [G]
Well, I'll be damned if she won't let you leave her line of sight.
With her left hand closed on a yellow rose, dying in [D] the neon [C] light.
[Am]
[C] [Am]
[C] [G]
[Am] There's a thousand things [Em] that I could say, [Am]
but I'd just bite [Cm] my tongue
[Am] and listen as the lights [C] look fade the way [Am] that bell [C] can't be [G] [Em] unrung.
[G]
[C] He's a hero of mine, you know, honey.
[G] They [Em] don't make them [G] like that [Em] no more.
[C] He's a hero of mine, you know, honey, [G] [Em] as if he wasn't [G]
before.
[Em] [Am] Oh, a thousand things [Em] that I could say, [Am] but I'd just bite [Cm] my tongue
[Am] and listen as the lights [C] look fade the way [Am] that bell [C] can't be [G] unrung.
[Am] [Em]
[Am] [Cm]
[A] [C]
[Am] [C] [G]
Well, I could tell you she's a bad idea for the good it would do.
[A] [G]
I could tell you she's a mixed up girl.
Hell, she's 22.
[C] [Am] She's hanging on [Em] every word you say [Am] like a song yet to [Cm] be sung.
[Am] So we listen as the lights [C] look fade the way [Am] that bell [C] can't be [G] unrung.
So [Am] we listen as the lights [C] look fade the way [Am] that bell [C] can't be [G] unrung.
[Am] [C]
