Tom: Am
F Am G F
[Verse 1]
F Am G F
There was a girl from Tennessee
F Am G F
Brought the fires of Hell on me
F Am G F
She brought a long line of hurt and a world of trouble
F Am G F
Every door became one more wall
F Am G F
Goddamn, you know I gave it my all
F Am G F F
Oh, I tried and I tried, but couldn't stop lovin' her
[Chorus]
G Am
Some people take it for a ride
F F
Let it rust outside like a broke-down Chevrolet
G Am
Some people keep it inside
F F
Goin' out of their mind like they're high on cocaine
G Am
Oh, I wish it wouldn't just go
F F
Throwin' it around like it's fool's gold
G Am F
Oh, therе ain't no slowin' me down
F G Am F F
I wear mine on my sleevе
G Am F F
Sleeve

[Verse 2]
F Am G F
She drove me out of state and out of mind
F Am G F
And I searched for her on those West Coast nights
F Am G F
In every little smile and stranger passin' through
F Am G F
I still see her now and then in my dreams
F Fm G F
It's like she's still callin' out to me
F Am G. F
But I know that she's far gone, oh, oh
[Chorus]
G Am
Some people take it for a ride
F F
Let it rust outside like a broke-down Chevrolet
G Am
Some people keep it inside
F F
Goin' out of their mind like they're high on cocaine
G Am
Oh, I wish it wouldn't just go
F F
Throwin' it around like it's fool's gold
G Am F
Oh, therе ain't no slowin' me down
F G Am F F
I wear mine on my sleevе
G Am F F

[Bridge]
F Am G F
I was as blue as those cop car lights
F Am G F
Innocent in that cell that night
F Am G F
She broke me down to pieces
F Am G F
She broke me down to pieces
F Am G F
I'm still pickin' up the pieces
F Am G F
But at least it's still beatin'
[Chorus]
G Am
Some people take it for a ride
F F
Let it rust outside like a broke-down Chevrolet
G Am
Some people keep it inside
F F
Goin' out of their mind like they're high on cocaine
G Am
Oh, I wish it wouldn't just go
F F
Throwin' it around like it's fool's gold
G Am F
Oh, therе ain't no slowin' me down
F G Am F F
I wear mine on my sleevе
