Beware Cougar Tab

by The Academy Is


This may not be perfectly accurate... the E chord doesnt sound quite right to me... I 
this on my acoustic guitar.

When I met you, you were on your back.
                                     
We still spend most afternoons like that,
             
But not for long.

I find myself enjoying you,

But you play these reckless games
             
You'll never lose
               
As long as I'm around.


               
Do you want to tie me up?
                              
Do you want to tie me down?
                   
Go ahead and do it now.


                                                 
So far, so good, let it roll, let it ride, ride.
                                                 
So far, so good, let us fall, let us fight, fight.
                  
It's no fun on the sidelines.

We both know I'm too young for you,

And when you fake a laugh behind the wheel,
                                 
I know where this road is heading to.

With a sunken lie I lay in bed,

But I will live to be twenty-three.
                                    
And you'll see just how clever I can be...

               
Do you want to tie me up?
                              
Do you want to tie me down?
                   
Go ahead and do it now.


                                                 
So far, so good, let it roll, let it ride, ride.
                                                 
So far, so good, let us fall, let us fight, fight.
                  
It's no fun on the sidelines.

                        
Driving backwards, wasting time.
                                 
Young love is ruthless, so learn to fly.

You taught me things I can't forget.

Positions that I don't regret.
                        
I can't walk away, and I can't shake the taste.

               
Do you want to tie me up?
                              
Do you want to tie me down?
                   
Go ahead and do it now.


                                                 
So far, so good, let it roll, let it ride, ride.
                                                 
So far, so good, let us fall, let us fight, fight.
                  
It's no fun on the sidelines.

Don't write a word, cuz I won't reply.

This last part gets a little tricky for one guitar... you can continue with the riff 
the last line instead. Listen to the song before you try to play this.
