Intro: (F  Bb  C  Bb  F  C) 

                   F 
Well it's Saturday night 
                   Bb     C 
You're all dressed up in blue 
                             Bb 
I've been watching you for a while 
                 F          C 
Maybe you been watching me too 
                F 
So somebody ran out 
                 Bb         C 
Left somebody's heart in a mess 
                           Bb 
Well if you're looking for love 
       F          C         F 
Honey I'm tougher than the rest 

F 
Some girls they want a handsome Dan 
         Bb           C 
Or some good-lookin' Joe 
                    Bb                       F   C 
On their arm some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo 
                 F 
Well 'round here baby 
               Bb              C 
I learned you get what you can get 
                              Bb 
So if you're rough enough for love 
       F          C         F 
Honey I'm tougher than the rest 

                  Dm      Bb 
Yeah the road is dark 
                    F 
And it's a thin thin line 
                  Bb                           C   F 
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time 
                   Dm      Bb 
Maybe your other boyfriends 
                   F 
Couldn't pass the test 
                                   Bb 
Well if you're rough and ready for love 
        F          C        F 
Honey I'm tougher than the rest 

SOLO : as verse chords 

F 
Well it ain't no secret 
                    Bb       C 
I've been around a time or two 
                  Bb                F           C 
Well I don't know baby maybe you've been around too 
                     F 
Well there's another dance 
              Bb         C 
All you gotta do is say yes 
                                  Bb 
And if you're rough and ready for love 
       F            C       F 
Honey I'm tougher than the rest 
                           Bb 
If you're rough enough for love 
      F           C        F 
Baby I'm tougher than the rest
