Chords

[Verse 1]
E
Lorrie laughs like she just don't care

E
Got a red bandana and raven hair

E
Sitting in the corner at The Mercury

E7
Cowboy killers in a plain white tee

A7
And back before the glasses and the sleeve tattoos

A7
She's just another small town kid

E
Sure she's gotta couple problems now

E
But she doesn't try to keep 'em hid
[Chorus]
D                         A7
Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight

E
Alright, alright

D                            A7                B7
The kind of thing you never see before midnight

E
Girl, I know you're gonna wreck this town

       E7
Won't tell me where to be when the walls start falling
[Verse 2]
E
Well I've never seen Jimmy in that old Corvette

E
He looks like hell but he ain't dead yet

E
Rough around the edges but his clothes are clean

E7
Hayseed dressed up like James Dean

A7
And any way I play it well I can't get him to say it

A7
But I think that him and Lorrie were a thing

E
Well come now that I think about it

E
He don't say much of anything
[Chorus]
D                         A7
Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight

E
Alright, alright

D                           A7                B7
The kind of thing you never see before midnight

E
Girl, I know you're gonna wreck this town

       E7
Won't tell me where to be when the walls start falling
[Verse 3]
E
Well, it's 1 AM and wild and loud

E
Like sittin' in the middle of a funnel cloud

E
A five-spot for a shot and a beer

E7
Now do you wonder how we wound up here

A7
I tell you friend that every now and then

A7
It's like a money game of cut throat pool

E
Lorrie's talking just a little too sweet to me

E
Jimmy's in the next bar stool
[Chorus]
D                        A7
Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight

E
Alright, alright

D                            A7               B7
The kind of thing you never see before midnight
[Solo] |E\\\|E\\\|E\\\|E7\\\| |E\\\|E\\\|E\\\|E\\\\| [Bridge]
E
Well it's throwback punks and daytime drunks

E
And PBR's and stouts

E
Lorrie's over by the jukebox now

E
Dancing to the "Twist and Shout"

E
And Jimmy's storming out the front door

E
Lord you'd think someone had died

E
I ain't going anywhere at all

E7
Now I'm about to hit my stride
[Chorus]
D                          A7
Her kind of loving is a little like a fist fight

E
Alright, alright

D                            A7               B7
The kind of thing you never see before midnight

E
Girl I know you're gonna wreck this town

           E7
Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling
[Outro]
E
Girl I know you're gonna wreck this town

           E7
Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling

E
Girl I know you're gonna wreck this town

            E7
Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling

E
Girl I know you're gonna wreck this town

            E7                                               E
Won't you tell me where to be when the walls start falling down
