[Intro] D [Verse 1]
   D                                          G
In downtown Modesto I was workin' the Holiday Inn

      D                                                    A
I was set with a gig that would last us throughout the weekend

      D                                            G
I was singing a new song I'd wrote on the way into town

         D                                      A            D
When she came in the front door and found her a place to sit down
[Verse 2]
       D                                              G
Hey, I knew right away that she liked the words to my song

           D                                                   A
'Cause she stared at my git guitar and followed my fingers too long

    D                                             G
And she had the likeness of a girl I'd seen in my dreams

    D                                      A          D
But lights can do wonders with make up and faded blue jeans
[Chorus]
        D                                              G    G7 G6 G7
And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind

     D                                                 A
So I found a hundred reasons for lookin' away one more time

          D                                                 G
She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar

    D                              A           D
And blow all my chances at bein' a big singing star
[Verse 3]
     D                                                     G
With one passin' glance I could tell she was young for her age

          D                                                   A
Yeah, she got to looking better as she got down closer to the stage

           D                                                 G
And as she sipped on her wine I knew just the kind she would be

    D                                 A             D
And somehow I knew she was here to do bad things to me
[Chorus]
        D                                              G    G7 G6 G7
And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind

     D                                                 A
So I found a hundred reasons for lookin' away one more time

          D                                                 G
She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar

    D                                  A           D
And blow all my chances at, at bein' a big singing star
[Solo] | D | D | G | G | | D | D | A | A [Half-Chorus]
          D                                                 G
She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar

    D                                  A           D
And blow all my chances at, at bein' a big singing star
