Just Amlike i've always Gdone
And i Fsat you down and offered you a beerAm  G

And Fyou Amcame Gcrawling Amback
To say Fthat you Amwanna

[Intro]

F Am G G

[Verse]

I heard the sound of your bike

Am G

As your wheels hit the gravel

Then your engine in the driveway

Am G

Cutting off

And i pushed through the screen door

Am G

And i stood out on the porch

Thinking fight, fight, fight

Am G

At all costs

But instead i let you in

Am G

Just like i've always done

F Am G

And i sat you down and offered you a beer

And across the kitchen table

Am G

I fired several rounds

But you were still sitting there

Am G

When the smoke cleared

[Bridge]

F Am G Am

And you came crawling back

F Am

To say that you wanna

G Am

Make good in the end

F Am

And oh, oh

G F

Let me count the ways

That i abhor you

[Chorus]

F Am G

And you were never a good lay

F Am G

And you were never a good friend

F Am G F

But, oh, oh, what else can i say...

G F Am G Am G

I adore you

[Verse]

All i need is my leather

Am G

One t-shirt and two socks

I'll keep my hands warm in your pockets

Am G

And you can use the engine block

And we'll ride out to california

Am G

With my arms around your chest

And i'll pretend that this is real

Am G

'cuz this is what i like best

And you've been juggling two women

Am G

Like a stupid circus clown

F Am G

Telling us both we are the one

F Am G

And maybe you can keep me from ever being happy

Am G

But you're not gonna stop me from having fun

[Bridge]

F Am G

So let's go before i change my mind

F Am G

I'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind

F Am G Am G

'cuz i am bigger than everything that came before

[Chorus]

F Am G

And you were never very kind

F Am G

And you let me way down every time

F Am G F

But oh, oh, oh what can i say...

G F Am G

I adore you

[Outro]

I heard the sound of your bike

Am G

As your wheels hit the gravel

Then your engine in the driveway

Am G

Cutting off
