[INTRO]
G C D G
GThere must be something wrong with you,
To want a Cman like Emme,
COh you got an issue or Gtwo girl ain't you from,
A good famiDly?
GI'll just lead you astray,
Cause that's Cjust the life I leEmad,
COh and baby, don't go Gchasin' down a Dlost cause like Gme.
GI'm just a damaged good ol' boy,
With a self destCructive streEmak,
CMy past is just a vGoid,
My futures looking Dbleak,
GSo get out while you can girl,
And just be thankful Cwhen I Emleave,
COh and baby, don'Gt go chasin' Ddown a lost causGe like me.
GI'm just a Clost cause on the Glost highway,
I got some Dfatal flaws,
Oh what Gcan I say,
To sEmabotage what we've got Cgoin',
Before we go all the Dway,
You know this can't be safe,G  
[solo]
GSo let me build this burning bridge,
Before we Cget too Emdeep,
CLet me dig my Gditch, along this one way dead end Dstreet.
GIt ain't that I don't want you,
I'm just the last thing Cthat you Emneed,
COh and baby, don't go Gchasin' down a Dlost cause like Gme.
COh and baby, don't go Gchasin' down a Dlost cause like Gme.
