Standard Tuning - Chords can be played as power chords

C                                Em
When you see a roadside bar
C                                 Em
Or an old button down with a cigarette scar
Dm                                                    G
Think of me babe, because that's when I'm thinking of you

C                                   Em
It's not that you'll know where I'm at
C                                   Em
I won't be calling up your house or nothing like that
Dm                                                   G
I'm an old man now, and thinking's what I do

C                                   Em
I took my car this morning, gonna get new shocks
C                                   Em
I saw a woman out watering a window box
Dm                                                     G
And a couple of kids I thought could have been you and me

C                                     Em
Something sparked up in my brain to tell you the truth
C                                     Em
I bought a box of raisins and a Baby Ruth
Dm                                                       G
And sat down on the curb, twelve o'clock turned into three

Dm                                                       G
I can't explain your touch by saying baby's got it in the genes
Dm                                                       G
Cause girl that don't account for much but it sells a lot of magazines

C                                    Em 
Living without you babe, it ain't so bad
C                                     Em
I've got a memory of you I didn't know I had
Dm                                                   G
And it's rattling round, being called back out of the deep

C                                      Em
I'll be the first one to tell you not much can last
C                                      Em
And I knew that full well before you came and past
Dm                                                    G
So why are you on my mind tonight when I'm trying to sleep?

Dm                                                     G
I can't explain your touch by saying baby's got it in the genes
Dm                                                      G

C                            Em
So if you sit down heavy with your pen and ink
C                           Em
Or you're talking to yourself while you're scrubbing the sink
Dm                                                               G
Then talk to me girl, cause that's when I'm talking to you

Dm                                                                G
I can't explain your touch by saying baby's got it in the genes
