Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Am F C G

Verse 1:
Am        F           C              G
   I remember thinking the Marlboro man
Am              F         C     G
   would be the man of my dreams
Am           F                 C               G
   His dirty boots strung all across my living room
Am             F           C               G
   A real life hero should come and rescue me
Am       F             C                    G                 Am         F     C     G
  From a tin roof in a one horse town where I couldn't tell if anything else existed
Am       F                  C            G                Am
  I was trapped and he got out of every scrap that he got into
F                   C            G
  And I was over here missing it

Chorus:
F                  C            G          F            C   G
  You wouldn't believe all the things I told, I told myself
F                     C      G      F                      C      G
  It seemed like the only way to cope, but it never really helped

Verse 2:
Am               F           C               G
  And all these bars are full of strangers lives
Am               F              C  G
  Like they came right out of a song
Am                F            C                G
  And I've let a few put their boots beneath my bed
Am          F                C    G
  I never let em' stay there long
Am           F               C               G                Am     F                    C  G
  Just when nights are kinda cold and I don't know that I can handle feeling like that again
Am     F             C              G          Am    F          C  G
  So I reach for the comfort of someone so unfamiliar across my skin

Chorus:
F                 C             G        F        C   G
  You wouldn't believe all the things I did to myself
F                    C            G         F                     C     G
  Just searching for something I couldn't resist, it never really helped
F             C       G            F               C   G
  Show me a tall dark stranger and I, I show you a liar
F             C            G        F                 C
  Hand me the world on a string and I, I'll set it on fire

Bridge:
F                 C             G        F                C     G
  You wouldn't believe all the things I saw behind those curtains
F                 C             G        F                    C    G
  You wouldn't believe all the things I drank to keep it from hurting
F                 C             G        F               C     G
  You wouldn't believe all the hearts I left broken and scattered
F                 C        G            F                  C    G
  You wouldn't believe the price you'll pay for happy ever after
F                 C             G       F              G             Am       F     Am   F
  You wouldn't believe all the things I told myself, I saw myself, I showed myself, mmm...

Outro:
Am            F           C              G
  I just remember thinking the Marlboro Man
Am             F          C    G
  could be the man of my dreams
