Intro:

G, Emin., Cmaj (while harmonica is simutaneously played)

[Verse 1]:

G              Emin.        Cmaj     Gmaj
I love how you curse when I wake you up
G           Emin.         Cmaj      Gmaj
And sweetly demand that I fill your cup
G             Emin.   Cmaj   Gmaj
I follow your cool gunpowder glare
G          Emin.  Cmaj
Honey, you lay me there

[Chorus]:
           Emin. (lift E note to open A)
You?re the girl of my dreams
      Cmaj
And a pistol it seems
        G                     Emin. (lift E note to open A)
But you shoot me straight and true
        Cmaj
Time to lay down my bets
      Cmin.               G
Oh, I put all my money on you

Gmaj, Emin., Cmaj. (while harmonica is played)

[Verse 2]:

G               Emin.         Cmaj          G
When I?m in the dark girl you bring me [to] light
G                 Emin.  Cmaj   G
I love how you?re almost always right
                  Emin.       Cmaj     G
So keep boxing my ears when I sew them shut
          Emin.    Cmaj
Baby, you sure are tough

[Chorus]:

           Emin. (lift E note to open A)
You?re the girl of my dreams
      Cmaj
And a pistol it seems
        G                     Emin. (lift E note to open A)
But you shoot me straight and true
        Cmaj
Time to lay down my fears
       Cmin.
Honey, I feel so safe around you

Gmaj, Emin., Cmaj (while harmonica is played)

[Verse 3]:

G              Emin.     Cmaj
To the man who taught me anything
G                      Emin.    Cmaj
He said ?a hard-headed woman is what I need?
G             Emin.        Cmaj
To help me to always do my best
G       Emin.   Cmaj
Baby my life is blessed

[Chorus]:

           Emin.
You?re the girl of my dreams
         Cmaj
Darling, please wear this ring
          G                 Emin. (lift E note to open A)
You?re an angel through and through
        Cmaj
Time to lay down my life
      Cmin.                Emin (strums into A7?)
Honey I?d do it gladly for you...
        Cmaj
Time to lay down my life
      Cmin.                G
Honey I'd do it gladly for you
