F
There's a couple of things I've learned
On the many roads I've taken
F
Flames are not what get you burned
It's the cold and the ice
F
Here's a piece of advice
Dm
I got from a little bird
The flames can get you
Bb
Stirred
C F
It's the cold that leaves you shaken
F
I don't like to philosophize
I just want to tell a story
F
Always leave when a woman cries
Never look in a woman's eyes
F Dm
You'll get stuck with a high and rising fever
Bb
And then you can't leave her
Dm
Please, don't wait man
Bb
It's almost too late man
A D
She cries and you want to hold her
F#m E
She lies and you want to run away
F C
But just give her a minute
F C D
I promise you're in it to stay
A D
She smiles and you'll stay forever
F#m
She screams
E
Well, that's the price you pay
F C
But there's no one can make you
F Am
Forget how you feel
F C
For all she can take
F Am
You've got more there to steal
Bb Dm Gm Dm C
So you don't mind a bit of surprise
F
And she cries
F
I don't like to admit I'm wrong
I believe in guts and glory
F
But it's time I should change my song
I've been here just a bit too long
F Dm
Always thought I was much too strong for hating
Bb
And still I keep waiting...
Dm
And while I'm resolving
Bb C
That door keeps revolving
A D
She cries and you want to hold her
F#m E
She lies and you're half way out the door
F C
But you never can do it
F C D
She'll make you go through it once more
A D
She smiles and you'll stay forever
F#m
She sings
E
Oh, she's got you now for sure
F C
And each time that you swear
F Am
That you will not give in
F C
She'll throw you a stare
F Am
That'll show you can't win
Bb Dm Gm Dm C
It's amazing how hard each man tries
F
But she cries
Ab Eb
All of a sudden
Ab Eb
You fall for her charms
Ab Eb
You promise you'll stop all her tears
Ab Eb
All of sudden
Ab Eb
She's back in your arms
Db Eb E
And the walls start closing
Db Eb E
And blocking out the light
Db Eb E
And changing all your dreams
Db E
And right before your eyes
A
She cries
D
And I don't know the answer
F#m
She spies
E
And there's no place I can hide
F C
When I look in the mirror
F C D
There's nothing but fear here inside
A
I run
D
And still she is right behind me
F#m
I fall
E
The chasm is too wide
F C F Am
So I'm stuck in this world of her magic mystique
F C F Am
Where I'll never be more than her toy of the week
Bb Dm Gm Dm
But each time I prepare my goodbyes
Bb
Well, she catches me looking
Bbm C F
And she opens the floodgates
And she cries
F
