Verse 1
A 
I danced in the desert, in the pouring rain
Drank with the devil and forgot my name
Woke with somebody when the morning came
A 
No one there to shame me for my youth
'Cause I wouldn't be with you

Verse 2
A 
And then I found me a lover
who could play the bass
He's kinda quiet, but his body ain't
A 
Spend the days dreaming
and the nights awake
Dadd9 
Doin' things we know we shouldn't do
F#m 
'Cause I wouldn't be with you
Esus4 
Says he can't believe he found me
Dadd9 
Wraps his arms around me

Chorus 1
A 
Yeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah
I can't let him in
A 
You call me up and ask me how I've been
I'll call your bluff and
Dadd9 
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
A 
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
No, I can't let him in
A 
You play me rough, but I  won't let you in
So, call my bluff, I'll
Dadd9 
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
A 
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
F#m7 
Oh, count down to the day
D 
they may come true

Verse 3
A 
And I fell for a vagabond, a month at tops
Lied and said his bike was in the motor shop
A 
Drove my car once and made the tire pop
Dadd9 
Still we had some fun, till I came to
A 
'Cause I wouldn't be with you

Verse 4
A 
On the Fourth of July, I met a man, Pierre
Lied about his age, but I didn't care
A 
Spoke in broken English
but the heart was there
Dadd9 
In those eyes of sky and ocean blue
F#m7 
'Cause I wouldn't be with you
Esus4 
Says he can't believe he found me
Dadd9 
Wraps his arms around me

Chorus 2
A 
Yeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah
I can't let him in
A 
You call me up and ask me how I've been
I'll call your bluff and
Dadd9 
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
A 
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
No, I can't let him in
A 
You play me rough, but I  won't let you in
So, call my bluff, I'll
Dadd9 
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
A 
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
F#m7 
Oh, count down to the day
Dadd9 
they may come true

Outro 1

I'm counting down

I'm still so down

I'll come around
