But I guess that’s the way it’s sup posed to be.

They (Bb)smile that smile.

And they (Eb)bat those eyes.

They (Gm)steal you with hel lo.

They (F)kill you with good bye.

They hook you (Bb)with one touch

and you (Eb)can’t break free.

Yeah, the (Bb)trou ble with girls

is no (F)bod y loves trou ble as much as me.

They’re (Bb)sug ar and spice is and a an gel wings.

They’re (F)hell on a wheels and tight blue jeans.

A (Eb)sum mer night life down to by the lake, an old mem o ry that you can’t change.

They’re (Bb)hard ble to find, yet there’s so dang man y of ’em.

The (F)way that thing you hate that you al read thin’ y love ’em.

But I guess that’s the way it’s sup posed to be.

They (Bb)smile that smile.

And they (Eb)bat those eyes.

They (Gm)steal you with hel lo.

They (F)kill you with good bye.

They They’re the (Bb)per fect drug

and I (Eb)can’t break free.

Yeah, the (Bb)trou ble with girls

The way they hold you out on the dance floor, the way they ride in the mid dle of your truck, the way they give you a kiss at the front door.

Leave you (Gm)wish in’ you could (F)have gone up.

And just as you walk a way,

you hear that sweet voice

say,

(Ebsus2)“Stay.”

They

is no (F)bod y loves trou ble as much as

(Ebsus2)me.
