              Intro: E... A E B A E C#m B E 
 
 
                      E 
Every time you take a sip 
                   A 
In this smoky atmosphere 
                              E 
You press that bottle to your lips 
                      B 
And I wish I was your beer 
                               C#m 
And in the small there of your back 
                              A 
Your jeans are playing peek-a-boo 
                          E 
I'd like to see the other half 
B                   E 
Of your butterfly tatoo 
 
         B           E 
Hey that gives me an idea 
     A               E 
lets get out of this bar 
      B            E 
drive out into the country 
    B           
and find a place to park 
 
      A          E       B          E 
cause id like to see you out in the moonlight 
A           E        B                 
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks 
A           E                  B             C#m B 
I'd like to walk you through a field of wild flowers 
A               B             E 
And i'd like to check you for ticks 
 
 
 
E 
I know the perfect little path 
                             A 
Out in these woods i used to hunt 
                           E 
dont worry babe i got your back 
                       B 
and i've also got your front 
                               C#m 
I'd hate to waste a night like this 
                                A 
I'll keep you safe you wait and see 
                         E              B 
The only thing allowed to crawl all over you  
                  E  
When we get there is me 
 
         B            E                  A                E 
You know every guy in here tonight would like to take you home 
    B                 E               B 
But i've got way more class than them babe that aint what i want 
 
      A          E       B          E 
cause id like to see you out in the moonlight 
A           E        B                 
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks 
A           E                  B             C#m B 
I'd like to walk you through a field of wild flowers 
A               B             E 
And i'd like to check you for ticks 
 
 
 
    A  E           B          C#m B     A 
And oooo you never know where one might be 
 
    C#m B               A               E       B 
And oooo theres lots of places that are hard to reach 
 
A E B A E B C#m B 
 
Chorus 
 
    A                B              E 
Oh I'd sure like to check you for ticks 
 
Outro: A E B A E C#m B A E...
