Chords

[Intro] Em (Alternate between picking the E note and D note for the bass line throughout the whole song. If you listen to Rodney play it you'll get the idea) [Verse 1]
Em
Last night I lay dreaming I was drinking in a hotel bar

Em
Two women came up and kissed me

Em
And you were watching from a distant star

                  C               D                    Em    
I know it doesn’t make much sense, but what can I tell you

               C        D
Judging by the evidence, I’m feeling reckless
[Verse 2]
Em
I don’t know why I would go there, all to make a fuss over what

Em
I’ve got a woman like you and what do I do

Em
Pretend I might be something I’m not

                     C              D                      Em
I know you know it’s not your fault, it’s just something inside me

                  C             D                    Em
Would that I were worth my salt, but I’m feeling reckless
[Instrumental] Em x4 C D x2 [Bridge]
D                              Em
You give me more than I deserve

C           D                  Em
You could say I’ve got some nerve
[Verse 3]
Em
So slay me with your tender mercy

Em
Comfort me with words of steel

Em
You can catch me in a lie when I cast a roving eye

Em
But you’ll never know the way I feel

                        C             D
I know you know you’re smarter than me

Em
Tell me something I don’t know

                           C         D                    Em
There’s so much more that I could be, but I’m feeling reckless
[Outro]
Em
Last night I lay dreaming I was drinking in a hotel bar

Em
Two women came up and kissed me

Em
And you were watching from a distant star
[Ending] Em x2
