        (slides, bends, etc.) butcha gotta earn those by listening!

F#
I was a real Casanova in my home town.
F#
Never really thought about settling down,
          B     A                F#
That is until,         you came around.
F#
Yeah, it-s been a few years but I remember it well.
F#
I was a rowdy no-gooder.  You were hotter than hell.
               B       A                 F#
I spent all my time          hot on your trail.

             E                             B                           F#
You could-ve run to the mountains, could-a sailed across the deep blue sea.
  E                              B                     F#
I knew from the start I couldn-t let you get away from me.


F#
Well, your mama and your daddy they didn-t approve.
F#
They told you I was trash and I was born to lose,
                     B     A                      F#
But that didn-t faze me.         I was gonna have you.
F#
So, I begged and I pleaded, something I-d never done,
F#
And sure as tomorrow has a rising sun
                B       A                        F#
There was no mistake.        Honey, you were the one.

             E                             B                           F#
You could-ve run to the mountains, could-a sailed across the deep blue sea.
        E                          B                   F#
But one thing-s for sure you would never get away from me.


    E                  B                   F#
The sweetest things in life take you by surprise,
         E            B               C#
Like the heaven I see looking in your eyes.
       D#m                     B                   F#
Though you weren-t sure how an outlaw-s love would be,
  E                      B                     F#
I made up my mind not to let you get away from me.


RIFF


F#
As we get a little closer to our rocking chairs
F#
I think back on the good times that we have shared
                     B       A                      F#
And how our love has grown         down through the years.
F#
So, snuggle up to me, Baby, turn out the lights.
F#
There-s no where on this earth I-d rather be tonight
                   B       A                 F#
Then lying in your arms          holding you tight.
   E                  B                      F#
As time roll-s by one thing-s still plain to see
         E      B                             F#
I-d have been a fool to let you get away from me.

E                                          B                           F#
You could-ve run to the mountains, could-a sailed across the deep blue sea,
             E      B                             F#
But I-d have been a fool to let you get away from me.
