i think the chord alignment got a little off when i transferred this from notepad 
to the website, but they're the right ones as far as i can tell.  there were only 
bass tabs online so i sat down at my piano and figured it out.  hope it translates 
well to guitar.  enjoy!


                 F                  G
i heard the sound of your bike,
                 F                  G         
as your wheels hit the gravel,
                 F                  G                     F                  G
then your engine in the driveway cutting off
                 F                       G
and i pushed through the screen door
            F                  G
and i stood out on the porch
             F               G                    F                  G
thinking fight, fight, fight at all costs,
             F               G
but instead i let you in,
         F                  G
just like i've always done
         F                  G                         F                  G
and i sat you down and offered you a beer
         F                  G
and across the kitchen table
      F                  G  
i fired several rounds,
      F                  G                                F          G
but you were still sitting there when the smoke cleared.


       A     C           A      G         F 
and you came crawling back to say 
        A  C             A           G         F 
that you wanna make good in the end
A      C         A        G            F  
and oh, oh, let me count the ways
 F               G
that i abhor you,
        A    C        A     G     F
and you were never a good lay
A     C             A      G       F
and you were never a good friend
A     C             A      G       F
but, oh, oh, what else can i say...
F        G
i adore you


         F               G
all i need is my leather,
         F                  G
one t-shirt and two socks,
                            F                  G
i'll keep my hands warm in your pockets
                      F                  G
and you can use the engine block,
               F                  G
and we'll ride out to california
               F                  G
with my arms around your chest,
                 F                  G
and i'll pretend that this is real
                 F                  G
'cuz this is what i like best,
                            F                  G
and you've been juggling two women
           F                  G
like a stupid circus clown
    F          G                     F       G
telling us both we are the one
            F                  G                 F                  G
and maybe you can keep me from ever being happy,
          F                  G                        F                  G
but you're not gonna stop me from having fun.


      A    C      A     G           F
so let's go before i change my mind
  A    C                         A         G         F
i'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind
      A    C    A     G           F           
'cuz i am bigger than everything 
     F          G
that came before


      A    C         A       G       F
and you were never very kind,
   A    C             A           G         F
and you let me way down every time
A    C               A     G       F
but oh, oh, oh what can i say...
F           G
i adore you


                 F                  G
i heard the sound of your bike,
                 F                  G         
as your wheels hit the gravel,
                 F                  G                     F
