Verse 2:
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh so cold
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet

You didn't know how rock and roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Half way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eye she was given what she got

Chorus:

C majorC                F(i recommend higher fret)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, I'm once bitten twice shy babe
C majorC                FF
Ah, ah, ah, ah, I'm once bitten twice shy babe
C majorC                FF
Ah, ah, ah, ah, I'm once bitten twice shy babe

Verse 3:

Woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home, you're messin' around
My best friend told me you were the best lick in town

You didn't know that rock and roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm you got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet

Chorus

Solo: I'm sorry but the solo i play isn't really the real solo so if you want what i

Partial Verse:

I didn't know you had a rock and roll record
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
But look at you now it's dark and you're gone


Chorus
