During the verses, pre-choruses, and choruses, the second guitar plays
the same chords in open position without the hammer-ons or intro riff.
VERSE 1:
CAm
If you crave for romance I will show up bearing flowers
GFG
and if you need a good listener I could hear you talk for hours
CAm
If you're in need of something stronger I will be your man
GFE
and if you want somebody just to make the effort I'll do everything I can
PRE-CHORUS 1: (note the F comes a beat before the singing)
FF#G
Just don't go pinning all your hopes down on me
GF#F
cause i can make you a pretty promise girl
F#G
but that's no guarantee.
CHORUS:
CAm
Cause I'm no perfect soul
GG
These days I'm rolling out of control
CAm
but all I know to be true
GE
is I got good intentions for you
VERSE 2:
CAm
So if you need a cleaner I'll take out the trash
GFG
and if you're short on money girl well I can spare a little cash
CAm
and if you cannot hold your liquor well honey I'll hold back your hair
GFE
If all you need is some distraction girl well hey what's that over there
PRE-CHORUS 2:
FF#G
I swear you'll never find me whoring around
GF#FF#G
well I know there's plenty other ways that I can let you down
CHORUS:
CAm
Cause I'm no perfect soul
GG
These days I'm rolling out of control
CAm
but all I know to be true
GE
is I got good intentions for you
BRIDGE: (Second guitar plays the lead pre-chorus part while the lead plays this)
DmG
So if you need a dancing partner I'll bust out some awkward moves
DmG
And if you settle for some loser girl I sure know how to lose
CHORUS: (Second guitar does not play the first two lines)
CAm
Cause I'm no perfect soul
GG
These days I'm mostly out of control
CAm
but all I know to be true
GFG
see I got these good intentions for you good intentions for you
CHORUS:
CAm
I'm no perfect soul
GFG
these days well that's just the way I roll
CAm
and all I know to be true
G
you see I got these good intentions
FGC
I got these good intentions good intentions for you
Am
I'm no perfect soul
GFG
these days these days I'm outta control
CAm
but all I know to be true
GF
is I got good intentions for you
(The songs fades out on the record, but in live performances he ends on an open E)
