Verse:
A
I danced in the desert, in the pouring rain
A
Drank with the devil and forgot my name
A
Woke with somebody when the morning came
A
No one there to shame me for my youth
A
Cause I wouldn't be with you
 

A
And then I found me a lover who could play the bass
A
He's kinda quiet, but his body ain't
A
Spend the days dreaming and the nights awake
A                                 D
Doin' things we know we shouldn't do
D                     Gbm
Cause I wouldn't be with you
 
Pre-chorus:
Gbm                        E
Says he can't believe he found me
                  D
Wraps his arms around me
           (nc)
Yeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah
 
Chorus:
A
I can't let him in
A
You call me up and ask me how I've been
A
I'll call your bluff and
D
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
A
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
A
No, I can't let them in
A
You play me rough, but I won't let you in
A
So, call my bluff, I'll
D
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
A
Keep on telling you lies
Gbm                                  D
Count down to the day they may come true
 
Verse:
A
And I fell for a vagabond, a month at tops
A
Lied and said his bike was in the motor shop
A
Drove my car once and made the tire pop
A                                  D
Still we had some fun, till I came to
D                       A
Cause I wouldn't be with you
 

A
On the Fourth of July, I met a man, Pierre
A
Lied about his age, but I didn't care
A
Spoke in broken English but the heart was there
A                              D
In those eyes of sky and ocean blue
D                        Gbm
Cause I wouldn't be with you
 
Pre-chorus:
Gbm                          E
He says he can't believe he found me
                 D
Wraps his arms around me
          (nc)
Yeah-eah, eah-eah-eah-yeah
 
Chorus:
A
I can't let him in
A
You call me up and ask me how I've been
A
I'll call your bluff and
D
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
A
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
A
No, I can't let them in
A
You play me rough, but I won't let you in
A
So, call my bluff, I'll
D
Keep on telling, telling, telling you lies
A
Keep on telling you lies
Gbm                                  D
Count down to the day they may come true
 
Outro:
D            A
I'm counting dow-ow-ow-ow-own
A
I'm still so dow-ow-ow-ow-own
