G  D  A  A


VERSE:
 A                 G                           D
Like an old troubadour, like the boots on my floor
                    A
Like a Springsteen record spinning 'round and 'round
        G                      D
Like a rake and a rambler, an outlaw a gambler
           A
A wayward gypsy at the lost and found

                    G                      D
Like a band on the run, like the prodigal son
                        A
Got the feather in the wind feeling in my soul
            G                           D
No matter where I'm at, you're where I hang my hat
             A
Tonight I'm making my way back home


CHORUS:
        G
When I wake you in the morning
      D                      Bm                      A
Your kiss on my lips always hits me like the desert rain
              G
You take my rough around the edges
     D                         Bm                   A
You tie my loose ends and you braided me a vеlvet chain

                  G               D              G        D         Em
I need your soft skin against my face, I'm your leathеr, you're my lace
             G                                   D                    A   A
The way you love me when I'm leaving, when it's time for me to ride away
N.C.               G  D  A
You make me wanna staaay


VERSE:
 A                    G                     D
Like old Willie's guitar, like a neon Lonestar
                  A
Just like all my drifting honky tonkin' friends
              G                        D
Rolling from town to town, we throw it up, we tear it down
             A
Back on the road again by 2am

                     G                         D
All those last call late nights, no shows and bar fights
                   A
I need you like a tonic to my bottle of gin
                    G                  D
You always take my empty cup then you fill it back up
              A
You take my heart and top it off again


CHORUS:
        G
When I wake you in the morning
      D                      Bm                      A
Your kiss on my lips always hits me like the desert rain
              G
You take my rough around the edges
     D                         Bm                   A
You tie my loose ends and you braided me a vеlvet chain

                  G               D              G        D         Em
I need your soft skin against my face, I'm your leathеr, you're my lace
             G                                   D                    A
The way you love me when I'm leaving, when it's time for me to ride away
 A                      G  D  A  A
Girl you make me wanna stay


BDA K:
    G                           D                A  A
And I know, that you know that you can't tie me down
     G                          D                   D  N.C.
And you know, that I know that you got just what I need to keep me hanging around


CHORUS:
        G
When I wake you in the morning
      D                      Bm                      A
Your kiss on my lips always hits me like the desert rain
              G
You take my rough around the edges
     D                         Bm                   A
You tie my loose ends and you braided me a vеlvet chain

                  G               D              G                  Em
I need your soft skin against my face, I'm your leathеr, you're my lace
             G                                   D                    A
The way you love me when I'm leaving, when it's time for me to ride away
