But not for lAong.
EI find myself enjoying you,

You'll never Dlose
As long as I'm Aaround.
Do you want to Etie me up?
Do you want to Gtie me down?D  
Go ahead and do it Anow.
SEo far, so good, let it Groll, let it Dride, ride.A  
SEo far, so good, let us Gfall, let us Dfight, fight.A  
It's no Gfun on the Csidelines.

EWe both know I'm too young for you,
GAnd when you fake a laugh behind the wheel,
I Dknow where this road is heading Ato.
EWith a sunken lie I lay in bed,
GBut I will live to be twenty-three.
DAnd you'll see just how clever I can Abe...
Do you want to Etie me up?
Do you want to Gtie me down?D  
Go ahead and do it Anow.
SEo far, so good, let it Groll, let it Dride, ride.A  
SEo far, so good, let us Gfall, let us Dfight, fight.A  
It's no Gfun on the Csidelines.
EDriving Gbackwards, Dwasting Atime.
EYoung love is Gruthless, so Dlearn to Afly.
EYou taught me things I can't forget.
GPositions that I don't regret.
DI can't walk away, and I Acan't shake the taste.
Do you want to Etie me up?
Do you want to Gtie me down?D  
Go ahead and do it Anow.

This last part gets a little tricky for one guitar... you can continue with the riff 
the last line instead. Listen to the song before you try to play this.

When I met you, you were on your back.

We still spend most afternoons like that,

But not for long.

I find myself enjoying you,

But you play these reckless games

You'll never lose

As long as I'm around.

Do you want to tie me up?

Do you want to tie me down?

Go ahead and do it now.

So far, so good, let it roll, let it ride, ride.

So far, so good, let us fall, let us fight, fight.
