[Intro]
F C Gm Bb x2
[Hook]
F C Gm
I'll never let a girl get away again
Bb F C Gm Bb
Ain't nobody come close to me, to me, to me
F C Gm
If she should try to run I would get a gun
Bb F C Gm Bb
Come on honey come close to me, to me, to me
[Verse]
F
There's a bridge on the river
Gm Bb
There's a bum in the alley
F C Gm Bb
But there's nobody wrapped in her arms
F C Gm Bb
From the stars in the sky to the place where I lie
F C Gm Bb
It's like everyone's under her charm
F
So we drink in the kitchen
Gm Bb
And she's drunk on the sidewalk
F C Gm Bb
Where somebody's starting a fight
F
But there's not much to say
Gm Bb
Cuz we've wasted the day
F C Gm Bb
And everyone's wasted tonight
[Chorus]
F C F
I'll never let a girl get away again
Bb F C Gm Bb
Ain't nobody come close to me, to me, to me
F C F
If she should try to run I would get a gun
Bb F C Gm Bb
Come on honey come close to me, to me, to me
[Verse]
F
Well I know I'm good looking
Gm Bb
Cuz I swear on good cooking
F C Gm Bb
My mom says I'm handsome and strong
F
And she knows that she's pretty
Gm Bb
Cuz the sirens of the city
F Gm Bb
They're singing a sad jealous song
F
Upstairs the door's open
Gm Bb
Where the gun is still smoking
F Gm Bb
Oh they left every bit of evidence
F
Save the silver spare rubber
Gm Bb
That your boy just discovered
F C Am Bb
Making sorrow look like confidence
[Chorus]
F C F
I'll never let a girl get away again
Bb F C Gm Bb
Ain't nobody come close to me, to me, to me
F C F
If she should try to run I would get a gun
Bb F C Gm Bb
Come on honey come close to me, to me, to me
[Verse]
F
Standing up is a struggle
Gm Bb
When there's juice from the jungle
F C Gm Bb
And I'm filling every cup to the brim
F
And when John's in the background
Gm
And puking his guts out
F C Gm Bb
You can hear them chant "asshole" at him
F C
On the porch she's with me
Gm Bb
Says her name's Bethany
F Gm Bb
As her eyes pull me into a trance
F
And she tells me to stay
Gm Bb
But she just walks away
F C Am Bb
I'm a dog and I ain't got a chance
[Chorus]
F C F
I'll never let a girl get away again
Bb F C Gm Bb
Ain't nobody come close to me, to me, to me
F C F
If she should try to run I would get a gun
Bb F C Gm Bb (repeat x 2)
Come on honey come close to me, to me, to me
[Outro]
