INTRO
| G# | % | C#/G# | % | A#m/G# | % | G# | % |
[spoken-] I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin' it

VERSE
G#                     C#/G#
Boy, oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
A#m/G#                                         G#
Cryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you love has gone
                  G#                                   C#/G#
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
       A#m/G#                                    G#
Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees 'cos only the strong survive
                 G#
That's what she said, only the strong survive

CHORUS
         A#m/G#
Only the strong survive,

VERSE      
      G#                       C#/G#
Don't go all around with your head hung down
     A#m/G# 
Well I wouldn't let that little girl, no, I wouldn't let her know 
                 G#
That she made me feel like a clown
          G#                               C#/G#
There's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you
       A#m/G# 
Oh but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now 
             G#
And say your life is through

CHORUS
                       G#                        A#m/G#
Yes she said- Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,

Am                          E7
 Why don't they just let me live?
Am                        E7
 I don't need permission, make my own decisions;
Am                 E7
 That's my preroga-tive...

VERSE 1

C                     Em
You were raised on an asphalt farm 
G                      C
Ain't never heard a rooster crow 
C                Em
Never walked barefoot by a river 
G                 C
Felt the mud up between your toes

C                      
You never rolled in the hay 
D
You never thrown it in four wheel

Climb up on here girl 
D
Let me show you how country feels

Em             C
Let your hair down, hair down 
G                    D
Get you some of this laid on back 
Em              C
Kick your shoes off, kick 'em off 
G                    D
Get you some of this slow down fast 
Em            D      C          D           Em
I'll take you up and down these hollers and hills

Let me show you how country feels

You ever watched the sun go down 
G                 C
From the bed of a pickup truck 
C            Em
Ever been so into somebody 
G                                C
You're still lying there when it comes back up

Cut a path through that cornfield

Park down by the water

Let me show you how country feels

Intro- C

C
 Well the times are getting hard for you, little girl
        G                           D
 I'm a humming and a strumming, all over God's world
C
 You can't remember when you got your last meal
G                         D
 And you don't know just how a woman feels

Bb                                          Eb
 You didn't know what rock and roll was, until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
 Bb                                  Eb                                             C
 I got there in the nick of time, before he got his hands across your state line, yeah

Interlude- C

C
 Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
          G                         D
 And the heater don't work and it's oh so cold
C
 You're looking tired, you're looking kind of beat
       G                         D
 The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet

Bb                                           Eb
 You didn't know how rock and roll looked, until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
 Bb                                       Eb                                       
 Halfway home in the parking lot, by the look in her eye she was giving what she got

C                                   F         C                                   F
 My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby, my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
 C                                   F         G 
 My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby

C
 Woman you're a mess going to die in your sleep
           G                     D
 There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
C
 Can't keep you home, you're messing around
     G                              D
 My best friend told me you're the best lick in town

Bb                                          Eb
 You didn't know that rock and roll burned, so you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
Bb                                      Eb                                       
 You got the rhythm you got the speed, Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet

Solo- C G D   C G D

Bb                                               Eb
 I didn't know you had a rock and roll record, until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
 Bb                                   Eb
 You told me I was the only one, but look at you now, it's dark and you're gone

C                                   F         C                                   F
 My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby, my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
 C                                   F         C                                   F

Heart beats fast
           G
Colors and promises
          Em
How to be brave
          D             C
How can I love when I'm afraid

To fall
                 G
But watching you stand alone
          Em
All of my doubt
         D         C
Suddenly goes away somehow
         Em    D
One step closer
G
I have died everyday

waiting for you
Em
Darlin' don't be afraid
