This has always been one of my favorite BNL songs. It's much different than
anything else they've put out, in my opinion.
Unlike any other BNL song, this one is in Eb tuning (tuned down a half step to D#
G# C# F# A# D#). You MUST use this tuning, otherwise the song will sound nothing like it should.
No capo

E Bsus4 C#m7 Asus2
Any other guy would wanna take it outside
E Bsus4C#m7 Asus2
(3 strums, then PM)
But I'd never even try who wants to get their lights knocked out?

Any other guy would wanna stir it up some,

But I'd rather say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Turn 'round - say it to my face
No sound - Everything's a race
Lose ground - lost in your embrace
Leave town - never leave a trace

Even so, my heart and my head are an open book
