INTRO
G C D G 
 
G 
There must be something wrong with you, 
          C        Em 
To want a man like me, 
C                      G 
Oh you got an issue or two girl ain't you from, 
           D 
A good family? 
G 
I'll just lead you astray, 
             C                 Em 
Cause that's just the life I lead, 
C                     G              D               G 
Oh and baby, don't go chasin' down a lost cause like me. 
 
G 
I'm just a damaged good ol' boy, 
                C           Em 
With a self destructive streak, 
C                  G 
My past is just a void, 
                   D 
My futures looking bleak, 
G 
So get out while you can girl, 
                     C      Em 
And just be thankful when I leave, 
C                G            D               G 
Oh and baby, don't go chasin' down a lost cause like me. 
 
G          C                 G 
I'm just a lost cause on the lost highway, 
           D 
I got some fatal flaws, 
        G 
Oh what can I say, 
    Em                     C 
To sabotage what we've got goin', 
                     D 
Before we go all the way, 
                             G 
You know this can't be safe, 
 
solo
 
G 
So let me build this burning bridge, 
          C       Em 
Before we get too deep, 
C             G                                  D 
Let me dig my ditch, along this one way dead end street. 
G 
It ain't that I don't want you, 
                        C        Em 
I'm just the last thing that you need, 
C                     G              D               G 
Oh and baby, don't go chasin' down a lost cause like me. 
 
C                     G              D               G 
Oh and baby, don't go chasin' down a lost cause like me.
