(CN.C.)Ev ’ry time you take a (E5)sip,
in this smok y at mos (A5)phere,

and I wish I was your (B5)beer.
And in the small there of your (C#m)back
your jeans are play in’ peek a boo.
I’d like to see the oth er (E)half
of your but ter fly tat (E5)too.
Hey, that (B)gives me an i (E)dea, let’s (A)get out of this (E)bar and drive (B)out in to the (E)coun try and (B)find a place to park.
’Cause I’d like to (E)see you
out in the moon light.
I’d like to kiss you (B)way back in the sticks.
I’d like to walk you through a (B)field of wild (C#m)flow (B)ers and I’d like to (B)check you for ticks.
(CN.C.)I know the per fect lit tle path
out in these woods I used to (A5)hunt.
But don’t wor ry, babe, I’ve got your (E5)back
and I’ve al so got your (B5)front.
Now I’d hate to waste a night like (C#m)this.
I’ll keep you safe, you (B)wait and (A)see.
The on ly thing al lowed to (E)crawl all o ver you
when we get there is (E5)me.
You know (B)ev ’ry guy in (E)here to night (E)would (A)like to take you (E)home.
But (B)I’ve got way more (E)class than that, babe, (B)that ain’t what I want.
Now, (A)ooh,

And (A)ooh,

I’d like to see you
out in the moon light.
I’d like to kiss you, ba by, (B)way back (CN.C.)in the sticks.
I’d like to walk you through a (B)field of wild (C#m)flow (B)ers.
And I’d like to (B)check you for ticks.
Oh, (A)I’d sure like to (B)check you for ticks.
