    Em           D                  C/E        Bm/F#
He sticks to his guns, he takes the road as it comes,
             Am                   C
he takes the shine off his shoes
    Em           D                 C/E      Bm/F#
He says it's a shame, you know it may be a game,
          Am                  C
Ah, but I won't play to lose

He's burning the grass, he takes up a glass, he swallows it neat     
He crosses the floor, he opens the door, he takes a sniff at the street

C D                               C D
  And she tell him that he's crazy, She's saying listen baby,
          Em
I'm your wife
C D                       C D                      C     Cadd9
  She tells him he's crazy, For gambling with his life, 

But he climbs on his horse, you know he feels no remorse,
he just kicks it alive
His motor is fine, He takes it over the line,
until he's ready to dive
{SOLO 2 times on verse (see other tab), then stick}

He sticks to his guns, he takes the road as it comes,
he takes the shine off his shoes
He says it's a shame,you know it may be a game,
Ah but I won't play it to lose

He sticks to his guns, he takes the road as it comes
He takes the shine off his shoes
He's too fast to stop, he takes it over the top
He makes a line in the news... fade out on G A, G A, etc
