Capo on 4th fret
                 
 
  
 
 
   F                            G   
I talk a lot of (shh) when I'm drinking, baby,   
        Em                    Am   
I'm known to go a little too fast.   
F                                  G   
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy,   
        Em                           Am   
But they're the only friends that I have.   
          F   
I know I don't know you,   
         G                E             Am   
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl.   
        F                       G         C   
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?   
 
 
F                  G   
Here we go again, another drink I'm caving in,   
Em                                     Am   
And stupid words keep falling from my mouth.   
F                                                                                  
You know that I mean well,   
G   
My hands were meant for somewhere else.   
Em                                Am   
Your eyes are doing naughty butterflies   
 
F       G   
Oh, oh, one more drink and I should go,   
F       Am   
Oh, oh, but maybe she might like me though.   
F       G   
Oh, oh, I just can't think of what to say,   
E                  
Should I go, should I stay?   
Am   
Just can't let her slip away.   
 
 
   F                            G   
I talk a lot of (shh) when I'm drinking, baby,   
        Em                    Am   
I'm known to go a little too fast.   
F                                  G   
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy,   
        Em                           Am   
But they're the only friends that I have.   
          F   
I know I don't know you,   
         G                E             Am   
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl.   
        F                       G         C   
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?   
 
 
F                     G   
I was nearly in, but then came the pushy friend,   
Em                                       Am   
Killed the vibe and took my perfect ten away.   
F   
You know I need you, girl,   
G   
My heart's not made for someone else.   
Em                                  Am   
So save me here 'cause I can barely stand.   
 
 
 
F       G   
Oh, oh, one more drink and I should go,   
F       Am   
Oh, oh, but maybe she might like me though.   
F       G   
Oh, oh, I can't take this any more,   
E                  
Should I go, should I stay?   
Am   
It just can lead back to her door.   
 
 
   F                            G   
I talk a lot of (shh) when I'm drinking, baby,   
        Em                    Am   
I'm known to go a little too fast.   
F                                  G   
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy,   
        Em                           Am   
But they're the only friends that I have.   
          F   
I know I don't know you,   
         G                E             Am   
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl.   
        F                       G         C   
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?   
 
 
 
Dm          Am   
I've been a bad, bad boy   
Dm          Am              Dm   
Whispering rude things in her ear,   
Dm                 Am   
Please say she'll break,   
Am                 F   
Please say she'll change   
        Dm                         E   
Her mind and bring me back to her place.   
 
 
 
   F                            G   
I talk a lot of (shh) when I'm drinking, baby,   
        Em                    Am   
I'm known to go a little too fast.   
F                                  G   
Don't mind all my friends, I know they're all crazy,   
        Em                           Am   
But they're the only friends that I have.   
          F   
I know I don't know you,   
         G                E             Am   
But I'd like to skip the small talk and romance, girl.   
        F                       G         C   
That's all I have to say so, baby, can we dance?
