Verse 1:

After one or two I
get used to the room
We go slow when we
first make our moves
F#
By five or six bring
you out to the car
Number nine with
my head on the bar
Fm F# Bbm Ab
And it's sad, but true
Fm F# Bbm Ab
Out of cash and I---O.U's
Verse 2:
C#
I got desperate desires
and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste of
gin and malicious intent
F#
Bring you back to the bar
Get you out of the cold
My sober straight face
gets you out of
your clothes
And they're

scared that we know
Fm F#
All the crimes

they'll commit
Ab
Who they'll kiss
before they get home
Chorus 1:

I will lie awake

the way I hold you

Let you fall for

Verse 3:
C#
Barely conscious in the
door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep
while your mouth
makes your demands
F#
You laugh at every word
trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for
what I'm gonna do
Fm F# Bbm Ab
And your hair smells of smoke
Fm F# Bbm
Who will cast the first stone?
Ab
You can sin or spend
the night all alone
Verse 4:
C#
Brass buttons on your
coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart
that they cut out of stone
F#
You're using all your looks
that you've thrown
from the start
If you let me have my way
I swear I'll tear you apart
Fm F# Bbm Ab
Cause it's all you can be
Fm F# Bbm
You're a drunk and you're scared
Ab
It's ladies night all
the girls drink for free
