[Intro]
A7
[Verse]
A7 F#m7 A7
I built a big pile of peanut shells on the sawdust floor,
D6 A7
I winked at every pretty girl comin' in and out the door,
E7 A
Yelling "Hey, bartender, how about two more?"
F#m7
Bottle by bottle I'm clearin' off that shelf,
D6 F#m7
And I feel so good that I'm not quite myself,
Gmaj7 E A
Now they're telling me that I gotta find someplace else.
(Well, guess what?)
[Chorus]
D6 Bm7 A7
I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin',
E A
I've been thrown into better places than this,
D6 Bm7 A7
I didn't come here, so I ain't leavin',
E Bm7 A7
If you wanna pucker up I got just the place for you to kiss.
A
Well I spent my last dollar and drank up my last dime,
D7 Bm Am6 A7
Now they're acting like having fun is some kind of crime
E
If it will make you feel better, mister,
A B7 C6
I'll tell you one more time.
[Chorus]
D6 Bm7 A7
I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin',
E A7
I've been thrown into better places than this,
D6 Bm7 A7
I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin',
E Bm7 A7 Bm7 A7
Why don't you pucker up I got just the place for you to kiss.
D Bm7 A
Now you can call me a taxi, you can call me a cab,
B E
I know you're gonna call me something. when I can't pay this tab.
[Bridge]
D7 B C Bm7 A6 Bm7 A6
[Chorus]
D7 A7
Well I didn't come here, so I ain't leavin',
E A7
I've been thrown into better places than this,
D6 F#m7 A7
I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin',
E Bm7 A7
If you wanna pucker up I got just the place for you to kiss,
E A6
Why don't you pucker up I got just the place for you to kiss.
