          D                                      G
I've been running hot, you got me ticking; gonna blow my top.
       D                                     G
If you start me up, if you start me up; I'll never stop.

A                     D
 You make a grown man cry.
A                     D
 You make a grown man cry,
A                     D
 You make a grown man cry.

Bridge 1:

(n.C)
 Spread out the oil, the gasoline;
                                       D
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean ma-chine.

Verse 2:

       D
If you start it up;
                             G
Kick on the starter, give it all you got. (All you got).
  D                                     G
I can't compete, with the riders in the other heats.
       D
If you rough it up,
                       G
If you like it you can slide it up, (slide it up).

Chorus 3:

A                       D
 Don't make a grown man cry.
A                       D
 Don't make a grown man cry,
A                       D
 Don't make a grown man cry.

Bridge 2:

(n.C)
 My eyes dilate, my lips go green;
                                D
My hands are greasy; I'm a real mean machine.

If you start me up, if you start me up; I'll never stop.

 You make a grown man cry.
A                    D
 You make a dead man come,
A                    D
 You make a dead man come.
