            A            G                        D               D
I don't tell no tales about no hot dusty roads 
          A                            D   A            E7 
I'm a city boy and I stay at home 
       A                  G                        D               D
I make no excuses I just don't want to roam 
             A                D         A          E7 
And I don't like being alone 
 
 
 E7                 A                  G               D               D
I give you loving and a place to take off your shoes 
                    A                                 E7 
It does surprising things for a case of the blues 
                    A                  G                    D         D
It ain't no club, you don't have to pay no dues 
         A               D                    A            E7 
You just love me and I love you 
 
 
        D                              D 
And if you take some pride 
                   D 
In being alive 
                    A                       G         A 
If you're interested in looking inside 
                        A  Ab  G 
Of yourself 
  D 
Just drop on by 
D                           D 
Baby ask me why 
        G                                          E            D7sus2 
At least you don't have to be by yourself 
 
 
                       A                  G             D      D
Just come knock, most likely I'll be there 
                             A 
Then you look around 
               E 
Find a comfortable chair 
                          A                           G               D 
And then you sit, and you might think about 
                  D                             A                  E7 
Why he's there, I can't tell you why, only where 
 
 
Solo:    A  G  D  D   A D A E7     (2x)
