 [Intro - Rhythm] - Em,Bm,Em,Bm,Em,Bm,Em,Bm (regular tuning)


   Am                   Bm      Am                Bm
 Cold nights in the city can turn a heart to stone
    Am               Bm                C                D
 I'm still cryin' and you know why I'm out here on my own

(First part of slide intro)(Em,Bm,Em,Bm)

   Am               Bm       Am                Bm
 Being here without you, it takes up all my time
   Am                 Bm            C                D
 I'm tryin' to forget you, but you're still on my mind

   G                  D            C              D
 And I don't want to tear you down, but I'm the only fool around
   G                 D               C                D             Em,Bm
 You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't want to tear you down

    Am              Bm        Am                Bm
 I'm in a crowd of people, on this on easy street
    Am                   Bm            C                      D
 I'm walking blind 'til I can't see what your love done to me

  G                     D              C               D
 And I don't want to tear you down, but I'm the only fool around
  G                   D                C                  D
 You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't want to tear you down
  G                 D              C               D
 I don't want to tear you down, but I'm the only fool around
  G                  D                C                   D
 You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't want to tear you down

(Intro - Slide & Rhythm)

   Am                Bm   G D  Am                    Bm G D Am
 Just a temporary pleasure,  caused a never endin' pain
   Am                       Bm    G D Am
 But if love could last forever
   Am                     D          D
 Then we're sure to love again, love again

(Chorus and Instrumental)
