INTRO:
VERSE 1:
[] Well don't you stop [] wasting time
Come back [] down the line
I'm [] right where you [] left me be-[]-fore
I can't say I've [] been behaved
You'd not believe me [] anyways
There's [] been other [] women of [] course
But hold me to [] this one [] []
I won't make the [] same [] mistakes any-[]-more
Come on now [] darlin' please [] darken my [] door
...
VERSE 2:
With me is where [] you belong
So bring your-[]-self back home
We'll [] tear this town [] down to the [] ground
White Water [] Tavern nights
Old songs and [] cheap red wine
There's [] no finer [] mess to be [] found
I'll hold you to [A] this one [F#m] [D]
I still hear your [A] footsteps [F#m] crossing the [D] floor
Well come on now [Bm] darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door
...
BRIDGE:
Your [E] bare feet on hardwood can [D] barely make a [A] sound
From the [E] kitchen to the bedroom with [D] all the lights [A] down
A glass of [F#m] water and some [E] whiskey, the [D] smoke in your [A] hair
All I [F#m] taste is that [E] perfume you [D] wear, all that perfume you
[] Wear
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE:
...
VERSE 3:
[A] I don't expect that [C#m] you to stay
Gone are the [D] good old days
But [F#] damn we were [E] sure somethin' [A] else
I've caused enough [C#m] trouble here
So girl get it [D] in high gear
And [F#m] come save me [E] from my-[D]-self
We'll hold to [A] this one [F#m] [D]
I still taste that [A] god awful [F#] perfume you [D] wore
[EA riff]
FINALE:
[D] Now we'll hold to [A] this one [F#m] [D]
[D] I won't make the [A] same [F#m] mistakes any-[D]-more
[D] Come on now [Bm] darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door
(all rigtht)
[D] Come on now [F#m] darlin'
[D] Come on now [F#m] darlin'
[D] Come on now [Bm] darlin' please [E] darken my [A] door
