  			           D 
I've met a girl or two in my lifetime 
                                 D7 
And I've loved a few but not the right kind 
G                                               D 
I think I'm-a wastin' my time lovin' anyone but you 
          G                 D 
You got a hold on me I just can't seem to break free 
         A 
I walk a girl to town and start to fool around 
                                 D 
But honey, you're the rock in my shoe 
 
I stroll into the nightspots thinkin' that I'm somethin' real hot 
I got a pretty girl and she's got a lot but I know she ain't true 
It's just not the same, I'm playin' a fool's game 
But when I start to dance and try to make romance 
Honey, you're the rock in my shoe 
 
       D                                                                                                  
Now my heart has reached a decision 
       D7 
And my mind keeps havin' a vision 
   G                                                     D 
Of towels that read her's and his-n and I guess I always knew 
               G                      D 
You'd make the bells ring and pull my heart strings 
    A 
I'm walkin' down the aisle with a great big smile 
                                D 
Cause there ain't no rock in my shoe 
 
Bridge: 
        G 
There's always a rock in my shoe 
         D 
When I'm out with someone new 
     G 
I've tried to find love in another's arms 
       E7                    A7 
But it seems I just dream of you 
 
Repeat Chorus
