Intro:

Em      G                                      D    B
      I'll sting you like a cactus

Verse 1:
    Em               G
The desert can get lonely
     D              B
The weather isn't kind
  Em                 G
I had two hands to hold me
       D                  B
Til he took off in the night
Em            G
Hat over his horns
          D           B
He's the devil in disguise
    Em                G
I dressed myself in thorns
       D               B
So it wouldn't happen twice

Pre-Chorus:
Em           G
Oh, I try to warn em
D                B7
Oh, I'm no good for em

Chorus:
Em          G               D         B7
Easy on the eyes like a piece of paradise
   Em                 G                 D            B7
A place to rest your boots when you're only passing by
        Em             G
But don't unpack your bags yet, boy
      D               B7
I'll hurt you out of habit
        Em               G              D
And I'd get back on the road before it happens
     B7                  Em      G  D
I'll sting you like a cactus
      B7                 Em      G  D B7
I'll sting you like a cactus

Verse:
    Em               G
My heart was full of gold
              D                B
Now it's the deepest shade of blue
      Em            G                 D            B
What another cowboy broke looks like treasure to you

I'll hurt you out of habit
        Em              G               D
And I'd get back on the road before it happens

I'll sting you like a cactus

Burn you like a flame

Ashes to ashes

Won't be coming back again
      Em
I'll sting you like a cactus
G
Burn you like a flame
D
Ashes to ashes
             B7
Till you're cursing my name

And I'd get back on the road before it happens

I'll sting you like a cactus
