[Intro]
F#m D E
(x2)

[Verse 1]
F#m
She said the man’s going home with me
E F#m
She told the bar she was taking all bets

Well never trust a woman drinking whiskey
E F#m
That lights her own cigarette
A D E A
I started calling her baby, temptation was driving me wild
A D E
I think the only thing that saved me

It’s just not my style

[Chorus]
A D E
‘Cause I’m not the kind of man that goes out just looking for a woman
A D E
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
A D E
I’m not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothing
A D E
I’m as lonely as any man around
F#m D E
I just don’t like to pick them up and lay them down
F#m D E
Lay them down

Pick them up and lay them down

[Verse 2]
F#m
So we went from bottoms up to coffee cups
E F#m
A corner booth where the lights got dim

We started talking ’bout getting real close
E F#m
About how, and about when
A D E
It started raining harder and harder
A
I got up and with a thoughtful smile
A D E
I said, “Honey, if that ain’t thunder and lightning

It just ain’t worthwhile”

[Chorus]
A D E
I’m not the kind of man that goes out just looking for a woman
A D E
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
A D E
I’m not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothing
A D E
I’m as lonely as any man around
F#m D E
I just don’t like to pick them up and lay them down
F#m D E
Lay them down, down, down, down, down

[Solo]
F#m D E x2

[Bridge]
A D E
I turned around and gave her one last smile
A
And thought about one long kiss
A D E
But that would be taking it too far baby

And maybe something I couldn’t resist

[Chorus]
A D E
I’m not the kind of man that goes out just looking for a woman
A D E
I like the price you pay to keep passion on solid ground
A D E
I’m not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothing
A D E
I’m as lonely as any man around
F#m
I just don’t like to pick them up and lay them down
D E
Lay them down
F#m D E
Pick them up and lay them down

Lay them down

[Outro]
F#m D E
If it ain’t about thunder and lightning
F#m D E
It just ain’t worthwhile
F#m D E
Lord knows it just ain’t my style
F#m D E
Pick them up and lay them down, down, down, down, down
F#m D E
Pick them up and lay them down
