AmWhenever I walk iGnto the street
AmAnd I see you standing Gthere
With yoAmur back to the Gwall
And yAmour eyes on Gme

WAmhere my heart used to Gbe
And Dmeven when it's high noon baby
My bDmack's to the sun
And AmI got seven shGells in my six Amgun

And doAmn't worry baby Gwhen things get crazy
Cause AmI won't turn and Grun
And AmI got seven shGells in my six Amgun

[Verse 1]

Am G

Whenever I walk into the street

Am G

And I see you standing there

Am G

With your back to the wall

Am G

And your eyes on me

Am G

I just stare and stare

And I feel like I'm living in a western movie

That's only just begun

Am G Am

And I got seven shells in my six gun

[Verse 2]

Am G

I'm wilder and bluer and yonderer

Am G

Now that you're with me

Am G

And there's a tin star on my chest

Am G

Where my heart used to be

And even when it's high noon baby

My back's to the sun

Am G Am

And I got seven shells in my six gun

[Bridge]

You're trouble baby

And there ain't no doubt

The kind of trouble

I can live without

But I want to stay

By your side

As long as I'm alive

[Verse 3]

Am G

The daylight's stronger

And the shadows are longer

Ever since I've found you

And I feel like I'm ten feet tall

And there's nothing I can't do

Am G

And don't worry baby when things get crazy

Am G

Cause I won't turn and run

Am G Am

And I got seven shells in my six gun
