verse 1 

            D 
You want to stay 
               C 
They just wanna linger here 
           G 
They won't go away 
C  G 
Oh no 
                  D 
And just when you swing 
           C 
Upon down my neck

The pleasure you bring 
C  G 
Oh no 


PRE Chorus 

           Am                          G 
So you can stoke that fire high inside tonight 
  
Gonna need the heat 
           Am 
So you can make that iron hot don't stop 
         G 
And just take a swing down on me 
           C                  G 
And you can grab the handle

I'll be your anvil

verse 2 

                D 
I've singled it out 
             C 
The reason I have no fear 
              G 
If you cut me down 
C  G 
Oh no 
                      D 
It's something that's real 
         C 
You give when I'm in need 
                  G 
It's just for the feel 
C  G 
Oh no
