[Intro]
D (x4)
[Verse]
Well Dhere's what happens when you fall for a pistol
No no I don't mean no gun
I'm tAalkin' 'bout a man with bells and whistles
     G                    (F-E-D-F-E-D-B-D)
The kind that keeps your heart on the run
I Dmet that cat in a two-bit juke joint
Took my money in a game of pool
ANext thing I knew I was sittin' 'hind the eight-ball
GPlayin' my heart
G                   (D-F-F#-G-G-G-G-G-A-Bb-B-C)
Breakin' all the rules
CThrow your rope 'round a Grunaway freight train
DYou know it's gonna drag you down the track
CYou dust your britches off and Gtell yourself you're insane
A                                    (A-Bb-B-C-C#-D-D#-E-F-F#-G-G#-A))
But every time you love a man like that

[Verse]

Well here's what happens when you fall for a pistol

No no I don't mean no gun

I'm talkin' 'bout a man with bells and whistles

G (F-E-D-F-E-D-B-D)

The kind that keeps your heart on the run

I met that cat in a two-bit juke joint

Took my money in a game of pool

Next thing I knew I was sittin' 'hind the eight-ball

Playin' my heart

G (D-F-F#-G-G-G-G-G-A-Bb-B-C)

Breakin' all the rules

C G

Throw your rope 'round a runaway freight train

You know it's gonna drag you down the track

C G

You dust your britches off and tell yourself you're insane

But every time you love a man like that
