INTRO:
  A C#m D F#m E

VERSE 1:
  [A] Well don't you stop [C#m] wasting time
  Come back [D] down the line
  I'm [F#m] right where you [E] left me be-[A]-fore

  I can't say I've [C#m] been behaved
  You'd not believe me [D] anyways
  There's [F#m] been other [E] women of [D] course

  But hold me to [A] this one [F#m] [D] 
  I won't make the [A] same [F#m] mistakes any-[D]-more
  Come on now [Bm] darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door

  ... C#m D F#m E A

VERSE 2:
  With me is where [C#m] you belong
  So bring your-[D]-self back home
  We'll [F#m] tear this town [E] down to the [A] ground

  White Water [C#m] Tavern nights 
  Old songs and [D] cheap red wine
  There's [F#m] no finer [E] mess to be [D] found

  I'll hold you to [A] this one [F#m] [D]
  I still hear your [A] footsteps [F#m] crossing the [D] floor
  Well come on now [Bm] darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door

  ... A

BRIDGE:
  Your [E] bare feet on hardwood can [D] barely make a [A] sound
  From the [E] kitchen to the bedroom with [D] all the lights [A] down
  A glass of [F#m] water and some [E] whiskey, the [D] smoke in your [A] hair
  All I [F#m] taste is that [E] perfume you [D] wear, all that perfume you 
  [A] Wear

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE:
  ... C#m D F#m E
  A C#m D F#m E

VERSE 3:
  [A] I don't expect that [C#m] you to stay
  Gone are the [D] good old days
  But [F#] damn we were [E] sure somethin' [A] else

  I've caused enough [C#m] trouble here
  So girl get it [D] in high gear
  And [F#m] come save me [E] from my-[D]-self

  We'll hold to [A] this one [F#m] [D]
  I still taste that [A] god awful [F#] perfume you [D] wore 
  [EA riff]

FINALE:
  [D] Now we'll hold to [A] this one [F#m] [D]
  [D] I won't make the [A] same [F#m] mistakes any-[D]-more
  [D] Come on now [Bm] darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door

  A  A   (all rigtht)

  [D] Come on now [F#m] darlin'
  [D] Come on now [F#m] darlin'
  [D] Come on now [Bm]  darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door
