INTRO:
[A] [C#m] [D] [F#m] [E]
VERSE 1:
[A] Well don't you stop [C#m] wasting time
Come back [D] down the line
I'm [F#m] right where you [E] left me be-[A]-fore
I can't say I've [C#m] been behaved
You'd not believe me [D] anyways
There's [F#m] been other [E] women of [D] course
But hold me to [A] this one [F#m] [D]
I won't make the [A] same [F#m] mistakes any-[D]-more
Come on now [Bm] darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door
... C#m D F#m E A
VERSE 2:
With me is where [C#m] you belong
So bring your-[D]-self back home
We'll [F#m] tear this town [E] down to the [A] ground
White Water [C#m] Tavern nights
Old songs and [D] cheap red wine
There's [F#m] no finer [E] mess to be [D] found
I'll hold you to [A] this one [F#m] [D]
I still hear your [A] footsteps [F#m] crossing the [D] floor
Well come on now [Bm] darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door
... A
BRIDGE:
Your [E] bare feet on hardwood can [D] barely make a [A] sound
From the [E] kitchen to the bedroom with [D] all the lights [A] down
A glass of [F#m] water and some [E] whiskey, the [D] smoke in your [A] hair
All I [F#m] taste is that [E] perfume you [D] wear, all that perfume you
[A] Wear
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE:
... C#m D F#m E
[A] [C#m] [D] [F#m] [E]
VERSE 3:
[A] I don't expect that [C#m] you to stay
Gone are the [D] good old days
But [F#] damn we were [E] sure somethin' [A] else
I've caused enough [C#m] trouble here
So girl get it [D] in high gear
And [F#m] come save me [E] from my-[D]-self
We'll hold to [A] this one [F#m] [D]
I still taste that [A] god awful [F#] perfume you [D] wore
[EA riff]
FINALE:
[D] Now we'll hold to [A] this one [F#m] [D]
[D] I won't make the [A] same [F#m] mistakes any-[D]-more
[D] Come on now [Bm] darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door
A A (all rigtht)
[D] Come on now [F#m] darlin'
[D] Come on now [F#m] darlin'
[D] Come on now [Bm] darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door
