Capo 1st

[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.

[Chorus]
        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.

[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.


[Chorus]
        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.

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.
