Verse 1

  A Well don't you stop C♯m wasting time

  Come back D down the line

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

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

  I still taste that A god awful F♯ perfume you D wore
