(note: I prefer to play this song in a half step down tuned guitar. I think the songs sounds closer to the 
original that way; Kimberly Perry plays it live like this; You can play Em instead of E5 and A instead of A7
but I think it sounds better with E5 and A7)

       E5
He was sweet as cotton candy at a county fair
            A7                  B7                E5
Well he's a cold drink of water with butterscotch hair
                                 E5
He swore that he loved me well I guess he probably did
               A7                          B7                           E5
'Cause when he rolled up his sleeve one day,   I saw my name next to his

  C                                  G
A new tattoo stinging like a hornet, two little hearts like a big red warning
C                                             B7
I wasn't looking for a permanent thing, first comes the ink, then comes the ring

E5               A7                       E5               A7
Bye, bye baby, I bet we could've made a bunch of sweet memories
                E      D
You should have slowed down mister
   C                         B7
Moving like a twister's just a little fast for me
           A7    E      A7      E            A7                         E
So now it's 0 to 60, and if you ever miss me I'm right there on your arm
         D                   C                     B7                        E5  A7
Don't you cry, I'll leave you something behind, skid marks and a double heart

            E5
Well he's a tough bronc buster, I bet he sleeps in his boots
        A7                          B7                   E5
Well he tried to throw a rope around me right out of the shoots
                                  E5
He swore that he loved me, well I reckon he probably did
                A7                            B7                      E5
'cause when he rolled up his sleeve one day I thought here we go again

  C                               G 
A new tattoo burning like a brand, two little hearts on my rodeo man
C                                       B7
I wasn't looking for a permanent thing first comes the ink, then comes the ring

E5               A7                     E5                   A7
Bye, bye baby, I bet we could've made a bunch of sweet memories
                E      D
You should have slowed down mister
  C                          B7
Moving like a twister's just a little fast for me
            A7    E       A7       E            A7                      E
But now I?m 0 to 60, and if you ever miss me I'm right there on your arm
         D                   C                 B7                            E5
Don't you cry, I'll leave you something behind skid marks and a double heart
A7                  E5   A7  
    I?m a free bird

   C                          G
A new tattoo whistling Dixie, two little hearts ain't gonna get me
C                                        B7
I'm not looking for a permanent thing so don't shoot the ink 'til I take the ring

E5               A7                        E5              A7
Bye, bye baby, I bet we could've made a bunch of sweet memories
                E      D
You should have slowed down mister
   C                    B7
Moving like a twister's just a little fast for me
             A7    E        A7   E                 A7                      E
Well now it's 0 to 60, and if you ever miss me I'm right there on your arm
         D                   C                        B7    
Don't you cry, I'll leave you something behind, skid marks and marks and a...
                                                 E5  A7                               
Skid marks and a... skid marks and a double heart     
                     E5  A7    B7     E5
 Well, I?m a free bird
