Intro:  Em  C D  (2x) 
 
 
Verse 1: 
 
Em 
She said the man's goin' home with me 
 
D 
She told the bar she was takin' all bets 
 
Em 
Well never trust a woman drinkin' whiskey 
 
     D                   
That lights her own cigarette 
 
G                           D 
    I started callin' her baby, temptation was drivin' me wild 
 
G                                        
   I think the only thing that saved me 
 
D 
   It's just not my style 
 G                  C                D               
'Cause I'm not the kind of man that goes out just lookin' for a woman 
 
G          C                     D           
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground 
 
G           C                D 
I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin' 
 
G      C             D 
I'm as lonely as any man around 
 
                                                    Em  
I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down 
 
C       D        
Lay 'em down 
 
 
Pick 'em up and lay 'em down

Verse 2: 
 
                Em                 
So we went from bottoms up to coffee cups 
 
D 
A corner booth where the lights got dim 
 
Em 
We started talkin' 'bout gettin' real close 
 
D 
About how, and about when 
 
G 
It started rainin' harder and harder 
 
D 
  I got up and with a thoughtful smile 
 
G 
  I said, "Honey, if that ain't thunder and lightnin' 
 
D 
  It just ain't worthwhile" 
 G           C                D               
I'm not the kind of man that goes out just lookin' for a woman 
 
G          C                     D           
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground 
 
G           C                D 
I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin' 
 
G      C             D 
I'm as lonely as any man around 
 
                                                    Em  
I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down 
 
C       D        
Lay 'em down, down, down, down, down 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
G 
I turned around and gave her one last smile 
 
D 
And thought about one long kiss 
 
G 
But that would be takin' it too far baby 
 
D 
And maybe something I couldn't resist 
G           C                D               
I'm not the kind of man that goes out just lookin' for a woman 
 
G          C                     D           
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground 
 
G           C                D 
I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothin' 
 
G      C             D 
I'm as lonely as any man around 
 
                                                    Em  
I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down 
 
C       D 
Lay 'em down 
 
                               Em 
Pick 'em up and lay 'em down 
 
C       D 
Lay 'em down
