[Verse]
GSight for sore eyes Gtoo young to die
GTo old to stay the same
DIts a a-hundred-and-five on the first of july
If you're Cadd9lying in the Gshade
GSee a drop of sweat run down her neck
GPast her shoulders golden brown
And her hDair hangs loose like a jet black truth
four Cadd9feet above the Gground
[Chorus]
           C/GN.C C/G  
You can shake
But you can't Grattle
If ya dC/Geal
Then you can't Gdabble
Want to C/Gsteal
But its a Ghassle if you diDd
If your fC/Gast
Than someones Gquicker
Got the cC/Gash
Someone Gricher
Make a sC/Gplash
It don't come Gwith ya in the Dend
Let it C/Gride till the wheels fall oEmff my friend
[Verse]
GBiding your time
Three dollar wine
GWords you refuse to say
DPaint on a smile atleast for a while
Cadd9Until she floats Gaway
GFight fire with fire, Gburning desire
Don't split a winning Ghand
Cuz its Dbetter to have swung and missed than to Cadd9never take the chance
[Chorus]
GSight for sore eyes Gtoo young to die
GTo old to stay the same
DIts a a-hundred-and-five on the first of july
If you're Cadd9lying in the Gshade
GSee a drop of sweat run down her neck
GPast her shoulders golden brown
And her hDair hangs loose like a jet black truth
