Short Sweet Ride

G  G  D  G

        G                    C      G
I could see it coming from a mile a way
                          D        G
A heartache lookin' for a place to stay
                                C           G
But I couldn't resist her and I couldn't be cool
                          D     G
Lord can't a woman make a man a fool

        C
It's an age-old story but it still holds true
      G                      D         G
There ain't no end to what a man won't do
      C
He'll love some woman 'til he go insane
       G                     D       G
It's a short sweet ride on a runaway train

      G                        C         G
I was drunk and crazy from her sweet per fume
                             D     G
But I knew stone sober I was being used
                                 C          G
Now the heartache lingers like a cheap colo gne
                             D       G
She took all she wanted then she was gone

Repeat Chorus

[Solo]
C  C  G  D  G  C  C  G  D  G

       G                       C       G
It was almost worth it for the time we spent
                               D         G
But there ain't no future in a heart for rent
                                        C        G
Still she taught me something 'bout the facts of life
                         D           G
Love cuts quicker than a switchblade knife

Repeat Chorus Twice

  G                     D       G
A short sweet ride on a runaway train
