Verse 1

[C]You act like you were just born tonight

Verse 2

The [C]girls in the bars thinking, "Who is this guy?"
But [Am]they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
[G]You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
Don't you know [Am]heartaches are heroes when their [G]pockets are full

Chorus

[F]Tell me you're tryin' to cure a [Em]seven-year ache
[Am]See what else your old [F]heart can take

Baby, [Am]what is so great about [G]sleeping downtown?

Verse 4

There's [C]plenty of dives to be someone you're not
Just say you're [Am]lookin' for somethin' you might've forgot

'Cause there's a [Am]fool on every corner when you're [G]tryin' to get home
