Beware Cougar Chords

(ver. 1)
The Academy Is
This may not be perfectly accurate... the E chord doesnt sound quite right to me... I 
this on my acoustic guitar.

 E
When I met you, you were on your back.
G                                     D
We still spend most afternoons like that,
             A
But not for long.
E
I find myself enjoying you,
G
But you play these reckless games
             D
You'll never lose
               A
As long as I'm around.


               E
Do you want to tie me up?
               G               D
Do you want to tie me down?
                   A
Go ahead and do it now.


 E                      G            D              A
So far, so good, let it roll, let it ride, ride.
 E                      G            D              A
So far, so good, let us fall, let us fight, fight.
        G          C
It's no fun on the sidelines.

E
We both know I'm too young for you,
G
And when you fake a laugh behind the wheel,
  D                               A
I know where this road is heading to.
E
With a sunken lie I lay in bed,
G
But I will live to be twenty-three.
D                                    A
And you'll see just how clever I can be...

               E
Do you want to tie me up?
               G               D
Do you want to tie me down?
                   A
Go ahead and do it now.


 E                      G            D              A
So far, so good, let it roll, let it ride, ride.
 E                      G            D              A
So far, so good, let us fall, let us fight, fight.
        G          C
It's no fun on the sidelines.

E       G          D       A
Driving backwards, wasting time.
E             G            D        A
Young love is ruthless, so learn to fly.
E
You taught me things I can't forget.
G
Positions that I don't regret.
D                        A
I can't walk away, and I can't shake the taste.

               E
Do you want to tie me up?
               G               D
Do you want to tie me down?
                   A
Go ahead and do it now.


 E                      G            D              A
So far, so good, let it roll, let it ride, ride.
 E                      G            D              A
So far, so good, let us fall, let us fight, fight.
        G          C
It's no fun on the sidelines.

G             A                 D
Don't write a word, cuz I won't reply.

This last part gets a little tricky for one guitar... you can continue with the riff 
the last line instead. Listen to the song before you try to play this.
