A                                      E 
I know you’re bored, looking for, some faded blue jean dream. 
                                                A 
Some 6-foot-four, swinging door, cowboy I can’t be. 
                                                           D 
Better hope that one night holding on, was worth you being free, 
            A                   E               A      N.C. 
When you’re running round comes running back to me.

When those dance floor lies and neon lights, finally turn you off you’ll see.

When you’ve cooled your heels, girl spin your wheels, you know where I’ll be,

Pick up that phone go on-and-on girl, put on your best act.

You can cry and try, but once you’re gone, there ain’t no coming back.

You’ll never know just what you lost, but you know what you’ll need, 
            A                   E               A      N.C.
