[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Bm][Am][G]
[D][Em][Bm][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
She [G]takes me out dan[Am]cin'[C]
She separates my [G]pill[Bb]s[G]
She gets away with [Am]murder
Takes [C]the money from my pants
Takes [D]the soundness out of days
She takes [Em]the same shitty
[D]car to work
[C]Eighteen hours straight
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
She tastes just like [D]mer[A]cury[Am]
Tempted by [A]something [D]sweet

[Verse 3]
And now [Em]she takes her time at
the [Bm]end of the n[G]ight[Am]
And she pours another [G]drink[D][Em]
I picked my words,
so the [Bm]phrasing was [Am]right
She makes it hard to think
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
I learned from my [Am]father[C]
What it means to be [G]a man[Bb][G]
She took moves from her [Am]mother
How [C]to fuss and how to fight
How [D]to put my mind at ease
How to [Em]love me so ten[D]derly
She'll bring [C]me to my knees
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
She tastes just like [D]mercury[A][Am]
Tempted [A]by [D]something sweet

[Verse 6]
And now [Em]she takes her time at the
[Bm]end of the n[G]ight[Bm][Am]
And she pours another [G]drink[D][Em]
I picked my words,
so the [Bm]phrasing was [G]right[Bm][Am]
She makes it hard to [Bm]think[C]
She makes it hard [D]to think

[Verse 7]
[Em]Why don't [D]you re[C]trace your s[G]teps?
[C]Tell me [Bm]what I've [G]missed
[Em]I will love yo[D]u 'til
there's [C]nothing [G]left
[C]When you [Bm]know you're [Am]gone
You're so [D]gone
You're so [A]gone
You're so gone
[D]

[Verse 8]
[G]
I held her like a [Am]shad[C]ow
She looked whole out in [G]the street
I screamed up at the [Am]streetlight
She said, [C]"I'm stuck inside my ways"
Took my [D]heart inside her hand
Said, "It's so [Em]easy
to love [D]someone"
"So [C]hard to be a man"
[G]

[Verse 9]
[Am]
She tastes [D]just like [Am]mercury
[D]Tempted by something sweet

[Verse 10]
And now [Em]she takes her time
at the [Bm]end of the [Am]night
And she pours another [G]drink[D][Em]
I picked my words,
so the [Bm]phrasing was [G]right[Am]
She makes it hard to [Bm]think[C]

[Outro 1]
She makes it hard to think
[D][Em]
