[Intro] Am [Verse 1]
Am             E7                Am
Friday left me fumblin' with the blues

          F          E
And it's hard to win when you always lose

            Am
Because the nightspots spend your spirit

          Dm
Beat your head against the wall

Am           E7                Am
Two dead-ends you still got to choose
[Verse 2]
Am                               E7      Am
You know the bartenders they all know my name

          F                           E7
And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame

          Am                            Dm
And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyester shaking my head

Am                E7             Am
When I should be living clean in stead
[Verse 3]
             Am               E7             Am
You know the ladies I've been seeing off and on

          F              E7
Well they spend your love then they're gone

    Am                             Dm
You can't be loving someone who is savage and cruel

Am                           E7              Am
Take your love and then they leave on out of town; No they do
[Instrumental] Am E7 Am F E7 Am Dm E7 Am [Verse 4]
         Am             E7            Am
When I'm falling in love, It's such a breeze

         F                     E7
But it's standing up that's so hard for me

        Am                                      Dm
I wanna sqeeze you but I'm scared to death I'll break your back instead

              Am               E7           Am
You know your perfume, well it won't let me be
[Verse 5]
Am                               E7      Am
You know the bartenders they all know my name

          F                           E7
And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame

          Am                            Dm
And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyester shaking my head

Am                E7             Am
When I should be living clean in stead
[Verse 6]
           Am             E7                 Am
So come on baby, let your love light shine on down

       F                     E7
Gotta bury me inside of your fire

           Am
Cause your eyes are enough to blind me

              Dm
you're like a-looking at the sun

          Am     E7                Am
you gotta whisper tell me I'm the one
[Outro]
            Am     E7                Am
come on and whisper tell me I'm the one

       Am     E7                Am
gotta whisper tell me I'm the one

            Am     E7                Am
come on and whisper tell me I'm the one
