During the verses, pre-choruses, and choruses, the second guitar plays
the same chords in open position without the hammer-ons or intro riff.


VERSE 1:

C                               Am
If you crave for romance I will show up bearing flowers
    G                                   F                        G
and if you need a good listener I could hear you talk for hours
             C                          Am
If you're in need of something stronger I will be your man
           G                                             F                E
and if you want somebody just to make the effort I'll do everything I can



PRE-CHORUS 1: (note the F comes a beat before the singing)

F                             F#   G
    Just don't go pinning all your hopes down on me
Gm  F#          F
    cause i can make you a pretty promise girl
           F# G
but that's no guarantee.



CHORUS:

      C                    Am
Cause I'm no perfect soul 
      G                               F G
These days I'm rolling out of control
    C                      Am
but all I know to be true
   G                             F E
is I got good intentions for you



VERSE 2:

   C                     Am 
So if you need a cleaner I'll take out the trash
    G                                        F                   G
and if you're short on money girl well I can spare a little cash
           C                                  Am                         
and if you cannot hold your liquor well honey I'll hold back your hair
   G                                             F                        E
If all you need is some distraction girl well hey what's that over there



PRE-CHORUS 2:

F                             F# G   
    I swear you'll never find me whoring around
Gm  F#     F                                    F#  G
    well I know there's plenty other ways that I can let you down



CHORUS:

      C                    Am
Cause I'm no perfect soul 
      G                               F G
These days I'm rolling out of control
    C                      Am
but all I know to be true
   G                             F E
is I got good intentions for you



BRIDGE: (Second guitar plays the lead pre-chorus part while the lead plays this)

Dm                                        G
    So if you need a dancing partner I'll bust out some awkward moves
          Dm                            G
And if you settle for some loser girl I sure know how to lose



CHORUS: (Second guitar does not play the first two lines)

      C                    Am
Cause I'm no perfect soul 
      G                              F G
These days I'm mostly out of control
    C                      Am
but all I know to be true
      G                                F       G
see I got these good intentions for you good intentions for you



CHORUS:

C                 Am
    I'm no perfect soul
      G                         F          G
these days well that's just the way I roll
    C                     Am
and all I know to be true
          G                
you see I got these good intentions 
           F                G                   C
I got these good intentions good intentions for you
              Am
I'm no perfect soul
      G                   F             G
these days these days I'm outta control
    C                Am
but all I know to be true
   G                         F
is I got good intentions for you

(The songs fades out on the record, but in live performances he ends on an open E)
