Verse 1:
C majorC          FF
They hung a sign up in our town

"If you live it up, you won't live it down"
C majorC         FF    C majorC
So she left Monte Rio, son
          C majorC
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
     FF         G+G
With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
       C majorC       FF
She went and took that California trip
   DmDm          G+G
Well the moon was gold, her hair like wind

She said don't look back, just come on Jim

 Everyone's looking for someone to blame

If you share my bed you share my name

So go ahead and call the cops
     C majorC         FF      FF
You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops

And god bless your crooked little heart

  St. Louis got the best of me

I miss your broken china voice
C majorC             C majorC
How I wish you were still here with me

Well you build it up and wreck it down
     C majorC         FF       FF
Then you burn your mansion to the ground

Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on

C majorC          FF
Down by the Riverside Motel
G+G         A minorAm C majorC
Well It's 10 below and falling
C majorC     FF
and by a 99 cent store (soft strum G+G)
C majorC  G+G     DmDm    C majorC        C majorC
She closed her eyes and started swaying
 FF         G+G
But it' so hard to dance that way
   C majorC           FF     FF
When it's cold and there's no music

But inside your head there's a record playin'
