🎸 Intro:
E E Bm B E
🎸 Verse 1:
E
You got that look in your eyes
B
The one that makes me nervous
E
You got that left-corner-up-first smile
B
That says you’re up to no good
E
Yeah I should have known
E E/F#m
In only just a moment
Bm B
You’d cross the room and sit right next to me
E
Talking till the mornin’
E E/F#m
‘Bout the town you’re from
Bm B
But before you leave there’s some things you need to know
🎸 Chorus:
E
I swear it’s nothing personal
E/F#m
I’m sure you are a real nice girl
Bm B
It’s just that I’ve been hurt once or twice before
E
There’s nothin like the first heartbreak
E/F#m
She robbed me like a midnight train
Bm B
She held me up and set out on the run
Bm B
And I hate to say but she kinda looked like you
B E E
And that’s why I keep my hand on my gun
🎸 Verse 2:
E
You sure know how to make me talk
B
And I ain’t one for speaking
E
It’s been a good long minute since I felt a spark
B
If that’s the thing I’m feeling
E
Yeah I should have known
E E/F#m
In only just a moment
Bm B
You’d cross the room and sit right next to me
E
We’re talking till the morning
E E/F#m
Bout the town you’re from
Bm B
But before you leave there’s some things you need to know
🎸 Chorus:
E
I swear it’s nothing personal
E/F#m
I’m sure you are a real nice girl
Bm B
It’s just that I’ve been hurt once or twice before
E
There’s nothin like the first heartbreak
E/F#m
She robbed me like a midnight train
Bm B
She held me up and set out on the run
Bm B
And I hate to say but she kinda talked like you
B E E
And that’s why I keep my hand on my gun
