Intro: D verse 1 D G In downtown Modesto I was workin' the Holiday Inn D A I would stick with a gig that would last us throughout the weekend D G I was singing a new song I'd wrote on the way into town D A D When she came in the front door and found her a place to sit down. verse 2 D G Hey I knew right away that she like the words to my song D A Cause she stared at my git guitar and followed my fingers too long D G And she had the likeness of a girl I'd seen in my dreams D A D But lights can do wonders with make up and faded blue jeans.verse 3 D G With one passin' glance I could tell she was young for her age D A Yeah she got to looking better as she got down closer to the stage D G And as she sipped on her wine I knew just the kind she would be D A D And somehow I knew she was here to the bad things to me.D G C B G And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind D A So I found a hundred reasons for lookin' her way one more time D G She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar D A D And blow all my chances at bein' a big singing star.Solo: D G A D D G She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar D A D And blow all my chances at bein' a big singing star.D G C B G And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind D A So I found a hundred reasons for lookin' her way one more time D G She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitar D A D And blow all my chances at bein' a big singing star.
